The Kennedy Space Center!
Today we didn't make plans to go to a Disney park. Instead, we drove an hour east to go to the Kennedy Space Center. There, the Atlantis space shuttle is in its final resting place. Now we have seen all 4 of the space shuttles. The Kennedy Space Center did an amazing job at introducing and explaining the space program. I made the kids memorize the order that the shuttles were built and a fact about each one. The center also had a bunch of simulators that the kids could practice flying and landing space shuttles. We also took a trip to Mars and learned that Mars was once covered in water.

We drove back to Disney World and it was so exciting to be back!!!
Guess who lost his first tooth!!!
The kids ended the night swimming at one of the pools here in the resort. Tomorrow is our last day here. We will carry these memories with us forever!!!
Another awesome place.
