Falcon 9 was due to launch an Air Force GPS upgrade today, but it had already been scrubbed more than once. We hung out in the parking lot to try to watch it, but it was scrubbed again. Maybe tomorrow.
Breakfast at the hotel was tasty. My sister had worried the government shut down might affect the Visitor Complex, but it is a concession run by Delaware North so no impact.
R. and T. split off from us early to take pictures of the rocket garden and then do iMax. The rest of us took the bus over to the Apollo building and have lunch at the Moon Rock Cafe. Neat stuff on display, but honestly, nothing really beats sitting down and staring at the separated pieces of an Apollo. That thing is enormous.
We spent some time in the Atlantis building after we got back from the Apollo building. The girls did the shuttle launch simulator, and played around with some of the games.
We upgraded to an annual pass on the way out, since everyone agreed we should spend a second day.
It was a ton of fun getting to tour with my daughter and my sister and her family. We got some cool souvenirs, too!
ETA: Dinner was more from the thai / sushi place, more sushi this time. Also awesome. My sister made pasta and T. had that.
