Three, Two, One, and we have liftoff!


Launchpad B at the Kennedy Space Center


We didn't get very far north on today's drive.  From Sebastian we got about 75 miles before we were near the Kennedy Space Center.  We decided that we hadn't been there in 25 or 30 years so we drove about 10 miles off I-95 to check it out.  There wasn't very much traffic or many people considering the size of their parking lot.  We parked the Dutch Star towing the car across a whole line of spaces in a big open lot.  We bought the cheapest admission package at $38 each and discovered several hours later that there was no way we could see everything in one day.  The admission tickets are good for 2 days, so around 3:30 we decided to leave and see if we could find a campground for two nights and come back again on Sunday.  We found a Brevard County Campground, Manatee Hammock, just a few miles away and managed to get the rig into one of only a few sites that aren't completely closed in by large trees.  We do like our satellite TV :-)  So tomorrow we'll back to KSC.
