Kennedy Space Center

I showed you some of our pictures from the animal rescue center a few days ago.  But you don't have to go to an animal preserve, just go to Lowes.  This guy wasn't in any hurry to leave.

But back to my reason for the Blog.  The Kennedy Space Center.  It's a little expensive but than everything in Orlando is.  We actually took a tour bus.  A deal I found on Groupon.  So we didn't have to drive.  I was surprised with how much I didn't know about the space program.  Did you know we have had 12 people walk on the moon?  I didn't.

 The rockets are huge.  You don't realize that until you are up close to them.

                      This is just the 4th stage of the rocket.  There were 3 more stages in front of this. 

This is the Vehicle Assembly Building.  These are 2 large doors.  I think the bus guy said they are the largest in the world.

                                                              They have a garden of rockets.

Another fact I found interesting is that more than 300 men and women have taken the journey. Where have I been?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              &

The Kennedy space center occupies over 400,000 acres.  A lot of it is kept as a natural preserve.  You start at the tourist part and they have buses that take you out where the actual space center is at.  It is like a small city.     That is where the workers are and the launch site.                                                                           

  Well we did enjoy  ourselves and I do appreciate the space program a little more now. 

We have found a town that really likes purple.  They have purple telephone poles, fences, stoplights, and trucks   

                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  We found these buildings.  They are all boarded up.  They were really nice and they are right on the water so not sure what happened.  With all the tourist you would have thought they could have made it.                     

Than our final find is a building dedicated to our granddaughter Calypso.

We have one more thing to do and than we are leaving Orlando and heading back to Wauchula for 3 weeks.  It feels like we have been going non-stop.  We are ready to do nothing.
