Kennedy Space Center

Jan. 31, 2017  the 12th day of my Big long Trip

Two days ago we had a problem with our toilet and Mom and Dad were really stressed out. We went to the store and got things to fix it. After that, we went and got gator bites. They were really good. But that was just our appetizer. I actually ordered shrimp that was really good too (just not as good as gator bites).

Yesterday, I went to Kennedy Space Center. We learned a lot (I mean a lot) of stuff about space. We read about nature (which I don’t know what that has to do with space). But I still had fun. We saw the rocket garden. It had four or five rockets. Then we went on an Astronaut rocket simulator. It was fun (I mean awesome). Then we saw the front of the space ship and it was a dream come true. It had buttons, buttons, and more buttons. I was the co-pilot. Nick was the pilot. Then we hopped on a bus and went to the launch pad. We watched a lot of videos. We also saw how many steps it took me to go across Saturn V. it took me 220 steps.

We went into a space building called milky way and asked when the show called the Beautiful Planet in 3D. Then we went on the playground and played for 15 minutes. Then we watched the Beautiful Planet. We saw Terry Virts on the show. We also learned a lot about space in it. Then it ended and we went home and watched Apollo 13. I love it. It is so awesome and sad.

  1. Hi Andi! I have a couple of questions for you. Who is Terry Verts that you saw on the Beautiful Planet movie? And what is the movie about (I have not seen it). Both you and Nick and commented on the toilet troubles. What do you do to help your parents when they are stressed out? And lastly, what do gator bites taste like? I find it hard to believe you like anything more than shrimp! I love and miss you!

    1. Terry Virts is an astronaut that gave us a tour in Houston. The Beautiful Planet is about how the astronauts get in and out of the international space station. Also how they have holidays in the international space station. And I don't know how to help my parents when they're stressed out. Gator bites are kind of like chicken because they are kind of chewy. Love, Andi

  2. Hi there Andi,
    I like your blog. I went down the slide also at Kennedy Space Center.
    You are probably finished reading Nancy Drew; you're such a good reader.

  3. Hi Andi,

    I love all your descriptions of your feelings as you write. We heard about some of what you had done at the Space Center when your mom was up in Wisconsin, but it's always fun to hear it straight from you. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to hearing about Stone Mountain.

    Love,
    Grandma Lau
