Kennedy Space Center
- Family near Launch pad at Kennedy Space Center (3 miles away, barely visible above Rob's head)
- Vehicle Assembly Building where they assemble shuttles to rockets, etc., before rolling them to the launch pad
- Saturn V rocket seen from rocket end in Saturn building, which has details of the Apollo missions
- Another view of the Apollo rocket assembly
- International Space Station components being assembled
- Space Shuttle Explorer at KSC visitor center
- Shuttle boosters; the white ones are recovered and reused, the orange one burns up on re-entering earth's atmosphere. Yes, that's Glen (5'11") barely visible down below for perspective.
- Egret (or is that a white heron?), which are seen everywhere (along with alligators, pelicans, etc.)
Sea World in Orlando
- Fish swimming overhead(!) in one of the walk-through tanks (tubes with 4" thick walls built through large aquariums)
- And we walked under the sharks too!
- "Journey to Atlantis", our favorite ride at Sea World, contains not only a flume drop (over Glen's shoulder) but a little roller coaster fun too. Yes, we did get a bit wet but it was a nice day even though it clouded up.
