3....2....1....

After Sea World, we went back to our Hotel in Cocoa Beach. It was all ready pretty late so Mom put us to bed. Nathan and I fell right to sleep with no problems. Mom and Dad on the other hand, were taking showers and packing more bags.


That night/early morning (1AM) Dad loaded me and Mom into the car along with Grandpa and Uncle Mike. We were headed to Kennedy Space Center to try and watch the launch of STS-127. Unfortunately we saw this sign saying that the launch was postponed. We turned around and went back to the hotel and slept some more.



For more information on the shuttle launch, you can go here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html



After we woke up that morning, GigiPa, Mom, Dad, Nathan and myself headed back to Kennedy Space Center to check out the exhibits.

We got on a bus to get some some more of the exhibits. We couldn't get too close to the real shuttle though.


Mom and her boys cheesin' it up for the camera.


Look how big these things are compared to little me!


This is the builing where they assemble the shuttle and do all the repairs.


This is a model of a shuttle and we could go inside to check it out.





Nathan was just being cute while waiting for his lunch. Do you think he looks a little hot?


I tried some astronaut ice cream. It wasn't cold and it didn't melt. I thought it was pretty good.


The next crew for the space ship launch.


When we got back from Kennedy, Nathan needed a nap. Mom stayed and took a nap with him while I went to enjoy Cocoa beach. Jumping waves is always a great way to wear Daddy and Aunt Kelly out. As if Dad weren't tired enough...


Our beachy picture.

Our dinner that night was family style in Grammy's hotel room. Pizza and soda for all.

That night, we slept with no problem at all. Dad read us one book and I was pretty much begging to go to bed. Nathan snuggled up with Mom. Dad and I cuddled in the other bed.
