You know we Taters love us some central Florida. The theme parks, the pools, the weather. Well, the weather MOST of the time, anyway. We took a quick Columbus Day weekend trip down there and were met with the vacation weather of most people's nightmares. This is what it looked like as we drove to the Kennedy Space Center on Saturday morning. Nice, huh?
No matter. We made the most of it and enjoyed the Space Center and then headed to Cocoa Beach (where we never actually saw the beach) and went to the famous Ron Jon's surf shop. Here's just a touch of the magic...

| And here's a great shot of the Apollo 11 moon rocket. The whole thing was very cool and very interesting. The Tater's were not bored...and that's quite an acheivement. |
 |
| And I just wanted to point out that the fine scientists at NASA are to be commended for this little invention...an automatic step stool for the public restroom sinks. BRILLIANT. If they got that idea from something they worked on during a space program, I'll fully support them going forward! |
