One of the days we were in Florida we decided to take a little break from Mickey and go see the rockets. It was so interesting being able to see the rockets and launch pads up close, well as close as they let you get. :) The bus tour we took gave us the opportunity to see some movies, mission control, the Saturn 5 rocket, moon rocks, space suits through the ages and many more interesting things. It was a special day for Joseph because he met meeting my dad for the first time and it went well. These pictures don't do justice in showing how big these rockets really are.

The Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) 
I can't remember what this machine is called, but this is the machine they use to transfer the rockets from the VAB to the launch pad. It has to move so slow that it can take up to eight hours to travel a mile.

Do you feel like an ant? Ben and Joseph standing under the middle of the Saturn 5 rocket. 
I thought it was funny the rockets had their own garden.

That was nice of you & Collin to meet up with your Dad, and even sweeter that he got to meet Joseph. As previously told you, he had nothing but good to say about his grandson. (Hopefully, this meeting was just a beginning and that, as maturing adults, you will re-establish relationships with your Dad, Lyns.) Thank you for the CD of shots from your trip; we appreciated it so much, as well as the additional photos of your trip to Florida posted here. (You know ... maybe it's good you & CJ got photo-flashed from the time you were born, as you’re very good to photo-journal your family's events & share with those of us too far away to enjoy with you or see Joseph first-hand.) Thanks again, Lyns. Love You Guys!
