My Weekend (In Pictures)

Saturday we tried someplace new, to us anyway, called Wonder Works in Orlando. They have a ton of Interactive exhibits, for not too bad of a price. It cost about as much for four of us to get in there as it would have cost for one of us to get into one of the big theme parks. We had a lot of fun.
They even have a bed of nails that you can lay down on, which was cool. You could have seen it better, but Amy didn't get the picture when the nails were all the way up.

I guess even that was worse of some of us than for others.
After Wonder Works we did some mini golf, and then went to dinner. Now, Friday night, we went to Sonny's Real Pit BBQ, which I thought was my Birthday Dinner... I was wrong. Saturday night the plan was unveiled and we went to Texas De Brazil Churrascaria (Brazillian Steakhouse), which is awesome... expensive, but awesome. I have a new favorite Restaurant... now I need to get a second job so I can go back within a few years... but seriously, it's awesome.
Sunday we went to Kennedy Space Center, as this weekend was the free weekend for Brevard County residents. Of course, we would have done much better if we had gotten there earlier, but instead, we got there about the same time as everyone else, so it was pretty crowded which made it pretty hard. This Picture is of one of the crawlers that they use to transport the Shuttles from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the Launch Pads, a three mile trip, which takes about 8 hours.
This is the Vehicle Assembly Building, a massive structure where they put all the parts of the shuttle together and onto the crawler so that they can be taken to the launch pads.
This is one of the shuttles currently on the pads, though it has a shroud around it, so you can't see much, but it's still pretty cool. Right now there are Shuttles on both pads, which is pretty cool. This is not the first time that there have been two shuttles on the pads at one time, but it is the first time that one has been being prepped for an actual mission, while the second one is being prepped for a possible rescue mission, in case something goes wrong with the mission of the first shuttle.


In all it was a great weekend, and we all had a really good time.
