Ruby Tuesday-NASA (Johnson) Space Center

A couple of weeks ago we headed to the Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas. We had so much fun, despite the fact that we were down there while Hurricane Alex was hitting the Texas Coast. We spent much of our trip in wet clothes, and walking around in the rain, but what an awesome experience to be able to take our girls to! We saw actual rockets, training facilities still in use by astronauts (sadly, none while we were there), read remarkable history about the space program, walked through a shuttle cockpit, came face to face with the inner workings of a rocket 2 football fields long, and at least 2 stories tall!! But mostly, I hope we instilled in our girls that Space, Science, and Exploration isn't limited to men only. That just because they are girls, they can be interested in all of those things too! It was actually my oldest daughter's desire to go, she loves science! :-) And I believe this trip will stick with her for years to come, just as it the trip I took as a youngster did with me!
