Florida Trip Day Two

The second day of our trip we went out to Kennedy Space Center for the day. We really didn't know it was sucha big complex so we only got to see about half of it before Rebecca wore out. We went on the bus tour which takes about three hours, and visited the Saturn V center and were some of the last people to be able to tour the Space Shuttle Prep area, since our President has decided to shut down that program.

This was a great park for children and covered, which was great since it was pouring shortly after we arrived.

The little monitor in the corner played a tour video between each stop....sort of helped fill up all the time driving from point to point and had lots of cool tidbits to add.

View of the launch pad....when we left Florida the very last shuttle was sitting and waiting for its November liftoff date.

                               The higlight of the trip for Rebecca......NASA wasn't her thing. LOL

The Statue of liberty could fit inside this building!

These are the actual desks, chairs, and computers used during the Apollo launches.......chill bumps!!

Des Moines spreads the news!

                                                Picnic lunch outside the Saturn V center.

Later we went back to the main area of the complex to watch a 3D movie about walking on the moon. After that time my camera battery died and we were all tired, so we headed back to our hotel, promising ourselves to return on Thursday when we got back from the cruise. We never did make it, but maybe someday when Rebecca is older we'll try it again.

Florida Trip Day One

We were at the airport Friday morning well before our flight, so daddy and Rebecca killed time with pancakes and sausage. She was so excited!

During our first flight from Evansville to Detroit Rebecca spent a lot of time looking out the window. She also ate goldfish and drank apple juice...the fold down table impressed her! P.S. Sorry to those sitting around us for the noise of the window opening and shutting hundreds of times. lol

First steps onto the beach at Cocoa Beach, FL

She's going to hate me someday for this shot, but its SO cute!

                                                                Venturing closer.

Daddy had to hold on tight so that waves didn't roll her under. She loved being swept off her feet.

Mommy joined in the fun too!

Proof we were there. ;-)

Waterfall in the pool at the hotel.

Second nap for the day!

I wanted to steal the decor from this room....especially the shower curtain...great colors!

Surf shop inside the lobby

Rebecca loved our 'pink' hotel.

Loving Aaron's 'beach' look.

She wants to be just like daddy.

Disney Cruise 2010

Our second night on board Aaron and I had a date night together. We ate at Palo the most, incredible Italtian food I've ever tasted. Meanwhile, Rebecca was in the Oceaneer's Club attneding Cinderella's Royal Ball. When we picked her up she was dressed up as Alice in Wonderland.

Rebecca loved getting to meet all the Princesses. She got to talk to them, give hugs, and take pictures with Snow White, Belle, Tiana, and Cinderella.....on two seperate occasions!

We love this shot!

Tuesday night was Pirate night and we ate at Animator's Pallete. The usual show was replaced by a Pirate Parade and Pirate themed.... everything!

Let's not forget the other main event.....Mickey Mouse himself!

We all had to get in on this fun picture!

As I get my photos sorted I'll have more to share, including Cocoa Beach, Nasa, Nassau, Castaway Cay, more Princesses, and lots more! I have nearly 700 photos to sort, edit, delete, etc. !!!
