The Space Center

Two weeks ago Jason took a week off and while we didn't have any major plans we still did a few fun things on our summer bucket list.  One was the Johnson Space Center.

Out of pure coincidence we made our trip on the very morning the shuttle landed after completing its last mission and we were there with a man who spent a good part (if not all) of his career working with the space program.  I love it when little details like that all work together.  Our lives are blessed with several of these "coincidences" where I can only point to our wonderful Father.

Because we got there so early and because we had "an insider" of sorts we were able to do a few tours where it was just us.  The entire place was packed with people quite literally arriving by the bus load so these private tours were definitely a treat for us!

The kids had a blast and even with a full day of walking and playing they were not in the least bit tired when we left.  Yup, that's what its like being mom to these three!
