Florida, Part Four

Notice I labeled it as “Florida” and not “Wellington?” That’s because we drove over two hours from our hotel to the Kennedy Space Center.

Because we are super nerds.

Also I’ve wanted to visit the place for a very long time. I’ve always been a serious space nerd.

To be honest this is where I spent 95% of the money I spent on this trip. Just getting in cost way more than I had expected, but it was worth it.

I’m sure it would be boring for most of you to hear all the fun and interesting things I learned there (like that Atlantis is hanging at a 43.21 degree angle and that the stars on the painted flag on the iconic building are 6 feet wide), and I’m sure you don’t want to see the hundred pictures I took.

But a bus tour out to the separate Saturn V building was included and it took an extra long route (that it supposedly doesn’t usually take) by the launch pads. That may have been what cost so much.

And the guy at the Atlantis building was super cool about sneaking us in the exit so we could skip the 10 minute video and just see the shuttle. He got the Coolest Person I Met All Weekend award.

We ended the day by going back to our hotel room and having the wildest Super Bowl party ever. Here’s the picture as proof.
