We spent the day before our cruise at Kennedy Space Center. It was a stop mostly for Declan since he is definite about being an astronaut when he grows up. Honestly, there were things that we all thought were cool. The Space Shuttle Launch Simulator was a favorite for most of us (not Declan). Although we didn't reach 3 Gs, it definitely gave you a small idea of what astronauts go through. The Saturn V rocket was unbelievable in size and strength. And we watched a 3 D movie on the International Space Center which was just...cool. It was amazing to learn about the progression of the space program and where it is headed in the future so we know what Declan will be doing!
The astronaut memorial...
We had lunch with astronaut Rick Searfoss. Declan asked him how old he was when he knew he wanted to become an astronaut. And just so you know, he was 6 or 7. Declan enjoyed listening to him and thought it was cool to get his autograph on our picture.
