Family Day at Johnson Space Center

We're back online! Today, we went as a family to Johnson Space Center for an event that allows family members of employees access to certain buildings that would otherwise be off limits. We had a good time and learned a lot, Lizzy had fun as well.

This is the misson control room used for the Apollo Mission

  1. Cool. Almost as good as being there. But not quite. Lizzy shall be an astronaut someday! What a wonderful thing to experience this all together as a family. I would love to come to Houston. I'm going to try to talk Dorothy into making a trip with me.
