Vacation! Day 2

After a good nights sleep we woke up and relaxed on the screen enclosed front porch.  Dan and I enjoyed some Starbucks while the boys played cars.

Since we still had over an hour until our scheduled event started we decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood.  It was windy down by the bay, but it felt great walking around.

After that we bundled up a bit and went to Space Center Houston.  The boys especially liked the kid section of the Space Center.  Dutch also really enjoyed an in person (non-astronaut) presentation about life in space.  We learned some interesting (and gross) things about astronaut life.

{Dutch hit his mark every time on this game.}

{How much do you weigh on Jupiter?}

{Can you land the space shuttle? Dan crashed, lol)

{Blast off simulator.  You laid on down and there are screens above showing the rocket blasting off.}

 {Dutch did this simulator for about 30 minutes off and on. He said he really likes flying into space.}

{Space quiz}

{Robots in space}

 {Creepy wax figures in the space capsule}

{It was quite roomy in there, that wax figure is life size.}

{Another life size creepy wax figure}

{Dutch touching an actual rock from the moon.}

{Dan and I's favorite room in the museum.}

{Wind tunnel test model}

{Replica of the shuttle, still being built.}

{We spent a few hours relaxing before heading to dinner.  The boys were TIRED!}

{Seriously tired.  This was before we went to dinner.}
