We were delayed and hour getting into port because of the hurricane that had passed through Texas. As we were waiting with our luggage Lincoln just couldn't understand why we were lugging our stuff around and asked, "Why don't our servants do it?" We died laughing. Apparently someone was a little too spoiled this week! Once we got off the boat and got our rental car we drove to the Houston Space Center. Even though it was pouring rain we took the tram tour to the Nasa training facility. They gave us ponchos to wear, but we still got drenched along the way. It was was pretty hilarious. It was impossible to hear what the tour guide was telling us with the ponchos flapping in our ears.
The facility was awesome though. A lot of cool stuff to see.
We even got to see the Orion that will be taking the first men to Mars.
After the tour we spent a few hours exploring. The boys loved all the simulators. They got to launch a space shuttle, drive a space rover, and all kinds of other cool stuff.
We left to head over to our hotel, and picked up some pizza on the way for the boys. Once we got the boys settled, Rob and I went out to find a real Texas BBQ place. We tried out Mo's and then got a Sonic shake afterward.
Overall I'd say that it was a pretty great vacation, with a lot of memories made. We are spending our day tomorrow lounging in our hotel room before flying back on Tuesday.
