Nasa

One of our other fun trips this summer was going to Nasa with our friends!!! We packed up and headed out . They had all kinds of fun science stuff set up that Nathan loved. We watched a show with some cool science stuff in it. We went on the tour of Nasa where the boys got to see the command center, space station mock ups!, rovers, and rockets! . They have a new area that we have never been to before with the space station replica for astronauts to train in. It was really neat to see just what it looks like. They also had an area where they train with ropes and pulleys to feel like it does in space with no gravity. The boys were able to watch one of the guys working on it and swinging all around. After the tour we stopped for lunch in the space cafeteria . We fit in some more fun including taking off in the space shuttle simulated ride, taking a tour of the fake space shuttle and playing in the huge space playground. We ended the perfect day with some dippin dots ice cream and headed back to planet home. After our visit Nathan tells me that he wants to be a Secret Agent Astronaut. I love that he has combined his two favorite things into one job. Hey who knows, if we are living on space by then it just might be the job to have, :)
