St. Augustine Day 2 / Day 3 at Kennedy Space Center

Here are some pics from the trip to Ripley's Believe It or Not! in St. Augustine the 2nd night we were there. The 2nd set of pictures are from the Kennedy Space Center. We stopped by the Space Center on our way home from St. Augustine and had a great time. It's awesome to see the shuttles up close and personal! Enjoy..

Ripley's Believe or Not!

Notice my red face. No, I did not wear sunscreen and YES, it hurt.

Jared and Jonny taking a lot of interest in this sculpture made of....sorry, I don't remember what it was made of!

This was a chair that you put money into so it could tell you what kind of person you were...apparently Jared is cold. Somebody get that kid a sweatshirt!

This is a huge Phares Wheel made out of these little kid toys. Sorry, I can't remember what the name of the toys were...guess I should have done this post right after we got back!?!

And this is Jared with a moose that made noise whenever you walked by it.

This is a mirror for the kids to try different things with their tongues. The funny part is that on the other side of the mirror, other guests are watching you make funny faces. Boy do I have some good videos of the girls on the trip making funny faces!!

Did I tell you Jared is going on tomorrow's space mission??

Can you see the little alligator? The Space Center is a wildlife refuge, so there are a lot of alligators and we saw some bald eagles too. The bald eagle's nest is so big that a human could lay down in it!!

This building (sorry for the bad picture) is where they assemble the shuttle. On the top of this building, you can actually fit the New York Yankees stadium AND have room for 1 acre of parking. The picture does not do it justice as to how big it is.

Replica of the rocket that went to the moon.

HUGE.

These are the last of the pictures from our field trip to St. Augustine/Kennedy Space Center. I hope you enjoyed them!!
