We decided this year against a grand Spring Break vacation. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun. So we got into the Durango and drove down to Houston for one night. We didn't tell Jackson our plans. All was a surprise.
We spent the evening at the Kemah Boardwalk walking by the Gulf of Mexico and eating in a big aquarium next to really big fish and eels. We rode a little train and looked at the amusement park rides. We rode a ferry across to our parking lot then went to bed.
The next day was why we came. NASA. We went to the Johnson Space Center. We saw the original Mission Control restored to its 1960's glory with all the original equipment. We saw the biggest rocket on earth, meant for Apollo 18 which was scrapped due to budget costs. Spent the whole day doing awesome space stuff. Then we drove home. Cool day.
