Today we had planned to go to NASA with Deb. She was picking us up at 8am so we could bet the rush of the school kids that might be there. It was around an hour trip so we wanted to be there at opening at 9. NASA was cool. From the space shuttle that was used for training (its not real, only a mock up). To the Boeing 747 that piggy backed the shuttle after its missions. The 747 was really good and we had no idea that we were going to see this and go inside it. There were also 2 trolley tours that took you to a mock up of the International Space Station and to the original NASA control room. This also stopped at Rocket Park so we could have closer look at them. Together with an Imax movie about the space shuttle another presentation about living in the space shuttle we had almost spent all day there.
After NASA we went to a Texas BBQ near the motel and had dinner. OMG the ribs were so good. It was an amazing place to eat.
