When we decided to go to Alabama for fall break this year we knew we had to stop at the space center in Huntsville on the way. Dave has been so interested in anything NASA for the last year so we made the trip part of his birthday present!
We drove on Friday until we were about an hour away from Huntsville then stopped for the night. Got up nice and early and had some time to kill so we did a little shopping before heading to the space center.
At first we went to the wrong place so we almost ended up at the actual Marshall Rocket testing site, but we got it sorted out!
There were so many rockets and shuttles to see on the grounds. And they had a G-force accelerator that was part of the ticket price-it was so fun and made us very dizzy!
The kids before they went on the simulator video ride. We also watched an IMAX movie called Our Place in Space-super interesting look at the solar system and universe!
Ike loved pressing ALL the buttons in this Apollo module.
Great experience at the museum, we highly recommend going! Dave and Ike both loved it and we could have spent a lot more time. But the ocean was calling!
Before we crossed the bridge to Dauphin Island we stopped at Whataburger for the first time ever. Food was great, service was slooooooow.
We finally made it to our condo around 8:30 and Ike begged and begged to go to the pool. Guess who got his way? :)
