Hello from Houston: Day 2 and 3
Posted by tim in

I'm a slight late on adding this entry, but I'm sure you'll all forgive me.
Day 2 was spent mostly on the road and at the Houston Space Center. Dad has
always been interested in space travel related stuff, and I figured this would
be a great chance for him to see NASA in person. We took the "red" tour, which
went through the Astronaut Training Facillity, and through Rocket Park, where
they had several older rockets standing outside, but the more famous Saturn V
rocket on display in a giant building. I got plenty of pictures of all of this,
which I'll have on the gallery in a few days.
We came back to the hotel after that to just "chill" for a while before dinner.
Sean and Naomi took us out to eat at Maxx's Wine and Dive over towards the
Galleria district, which was different but good. After that we came back to the
hotel. Dad stayed in my room for a bit while we watched Jurrasic park on the TV,
then he ended up going to bed shortly before it was over. I fell asleep sometime
not too long after that (around 9:30 local time), and I slept like a rock until
6:00AM. I tossed and turned from then to now, so I finally got out of bed.
Today we will be leaving here around 1:00PM so we can get to the airport and
drop the car off, get through security, and maybe find something to eat. Our
flight leaves at 4:15PM Houston time, and will arrive in Indianapolis at 7:43PM
Indianapolis time. I should be back to my place around 9:00 or 10:00.
