Spring Break- 2009 Houston


We went to Houston with some friends for two days. We had a blast at the Houston Aquarium, NASA, Hard Rock Cafe', and TGI-Fridays. It was really fun for all of us. I hadn't been to NASA since I was little and let me tell you this... NASA is very Different. We got to watch a satellite pictures of the Astronauts that are in space right now working on the new space station. It was not a pre-recorded show, It was right then at that time. We also got to see the men at Mission Control talking to the Astronauts. VERY VERY COOL!! We got to go on a Bus ride to a Highly Secure area 20Min's away from the park and got to see the worlds largest pool that the Astronauts trained in to learn to work in a weightless environment. The pool was 44 stories deep. That was cool because there were guys training when we got there. They have to wear there full Space suits in the water. Then when we got back from that they had a five story play gym with a slide from the top to bottom of it and it had lots of tunnels to climb in and more slides. Hear are some pictures.
