Blast off! We saw the shuttle blast off into space...
Okay, just kidding... it was in 3D on the IMAX screen at Cape Canaveral where we all spent the day yesterday.Kevin got to shake hands with an astronaut, and we all looked silly in the 3D glasses.
The most awesome thing was the Apollo center where we actually were in Command Control seeing the equipment and viewing the lift off on the screen of Apollo 8's mission.

Then we walked into the room where they had the honkin' engines of the Saturn 5 rocket. That is me circled in red to give you a little reference on just how honkin' that thing was.
Here's a note from Kevin: each of the five engines produces 1.5 million pounds of thrust. I am not sure what that means, but it sounds really big.
Just a short update... stay tuned for tomorrow's post... it will have lots of photos since we return to San Antonio and free wi-fi.
Today we are off again to St. Augustine... our favorite place this trip. More adventures in store for us... and a taste of the magic liquid from the Fountain of Youth.
