To space and back

We ventured to the Houston space center this weekend. They were featuring a star wars display. We thought this would be as good of a time as any, since the boys are obsessed with star wars.. I wished we lived closer so we could visit more often. It is a really cool place and there is such much to see and learn. They also have the best play area for kids. The only bad thing is that the lighting inside was not that great for picture taking. Most of the pictures did not turn out that great. We have a ton more pictures and wish I could post them all!












We watched a short space adventure movie. It was so cool it showed space adventures going back to the very first one. The best part was that they have the podeum that JFK did a speech from when he announced the first launch.


The star wars display was really neat too. They had items that were used on the movie set including the ship and a clone trooper. They also had actual light sabers used on the movie set.





They also have a wall of pictures of every single crew that has been to space.

Afterwards we treated the boys to McDonald's where they have stars wars toys in the Happy meals.
