Our main location today was the Johnson Space Center. It was a great idea to share with everyone the history of NASA's space program and their many aircraft with the world. Ton's of displays, games, and videos could be found in this mammoth facility. It began with an outdoor tram ride outside that showed off the property and many outbuildings where mysterious things happen.
I can honestly say that our children now know what the space program is and what things are done in Houston. They do many things, but do not launch any aircraft. It is primarily and training and education center! We all got over tired today and were fairly grouchy by the time we left. John fell asleep in his car seat and LL and I were having a tough time agreeing (or making a decision) on where to eat supper. After all was said and done we hit Denny's for a simple meal...and it was what the hit the spot for everyone tonight. Secretly, I was wishing we could have found the Mediterranean Buffet myself.
When we walked out, a storm was brewing and letting loose big time! The kids have never seen so much rainfall and lightning strike so frequently. It poured buckets and made the roads swell with water runoff. We actually drove through rivers and lakes today in the new Dungen Ark. Not many females though...we mostly went in this one 1 by 1.
It was by the grace of God that we made it safely into our parking lot of the hotel. There were many scary moments where I prayed the idiot in front of me would not stop completely for fear of ceasing our engine or other parts! We made it safe and now all are resting after finishing this blog. I will put up a link of our video from the storm and some Space Center activities later. Right now, it's time for bed.
Tomorrow we head to San Antonio and the historic cathedral for mass. We are hoping to do a stroll down the beautiful Riverwalk, but we will see if the weather cooperates. Monday I am hoping to get the van checked out. We had a number of problems with our "Electronic Throttle Control" light coming on again today and stalling the vehicle out. It is beginning to become truly worrisome. Please pray that it is resolved soon and does not strand us somewhere.
