Kennedy Space Center

We visited the Kennedy Space Center today.  We were across the river from the center last week when we watched the rocket launch.  The area and the artifacts are fascinating.  This is where the Mercury, Gemini and then Apollo moon rockets launched from, where the shuttle will launch and land a few more times.  The rockets and vehicles and launch pads and control rooms on display aren't models, they're the real thing.  The history of it is kind of lost on the kids, but big rockets are cool whatever the age.  The Saturn V was over 360 feet.

Armadillos in Florida?  I thought they were only found in Texas, the southwest...  Apparently a failed zoo in the 1920s let a bunch loose here and they haven't looked back.  At Cape Canaveral they call them "space rats".
