Yesterday we stayed at home to rest our weary bodies after our long day out at the Space Center.
We had a walk around the campground and saw that the bridge was up on the road to Cape Canaveral. I thought maybe a ship was going under it but we found out they were doing road works.
Today we went to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. Admission was included in our tickets for the Space Center but it is at a different location and you can go within 7 days of your trip to the Space Center.
It was a lot smaller and had various interactive exhibits. Unfortunately, quite a few of them were not open or did not work but we still had an informative day.
There is a canyon on Mars that is bigger than the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
I tried the weightless basketball game. It took a comic picture of me and I was in the top 10 for the day. Of course there probably were fewer than ten who had tried it. The place wasn't very crowded.
Bryan tried the Shuttle Landing simulator.

There was a statue of Alan Shepard, the first American man in space, in the lobby and a memorial to Bill Pogue who died earlier this month.
Sunday, we will leave the Space Coast and head back to Outdoor Resorts at Orlando for a week.
