Space and Rocket Center

We left Ohio on Sunday and traveled to Huntsville, AL. Chris had meetings there all day on Monday, so the kids and I hung out at the hotel. On Tuesday, we visited the Space and Rocket Center. The kids had a blast seeing all the rockets, and astronaut stuff from many years ago. We also went to the Chronicles of Narnia traveling exhibit they had there, but we couldn't take pictures. We saw props, costumes, etc from the first 2 movies, and 4 props that will be in the new movie in December.

Future astronauts

In the quarantine tent. When the astronauts would return from the moon, they would be quarantined for up to 3 weeks in case they brought back germs that weren't familiar.

Rock climging wall - Rachel did well until she got almost to the top and then she started to get scared, so Chris had to go up to get her. I told her she was brave, b/c I wouldn't even attempt it.
