Kennedy Space Center

We took a little break from the sun to go and enjoy the attraction of the area, The Kennedy Space Center. The kids weren’t thrilled about going but had a great time and couldn’t stop talking about the stuff we saw. The best part was the new shuttle Atlantis exhibit. It was breathtaking to see a real shuttle that has flown in space. The exhibit had black floors that kinda looked like mirrors, Ryan was terrified and would hardly walk. I think he felt like he was going to fall into an abyss or something, it was funny!! He finally got over it and he even rode the simulator!!
