Shuttle Launch Experience

Since we now have all this time on our hands, we decided it was time to get to the Visitor Center. We also decided to get season's tickets, and take our time to go through Kennedy Space Center. So we got there kind of late the first day, and asked the girl at the information desk for some hints. She sent us to the Shuttle Launch Experience first. They scare you with all these rules about not bringing cameras and stuff since you'll be blasting off in the space shuttle. So I didn't get any pics inside....

Shuttle Launch Scrubbed

Tags launch scrubbed, riverfront camp site

When we got back to the trailer, we had a sandwich while watching the NASA news conference. STS-133 has been scrubbed until no earlier than November 30. Boooo! So began the mass exodus from KARS. We took the opportunity to hitch up and dump the holding tanks:

Nature Trail

There's always something new to discover at KARS park. The weather had dipped to 50 - the Floridians are all in down parkas, mittens and scarves LOL. So we put on a windbreaker and took a hike through the nature trail. Fabulous!
