Picked up a Herz rented car this morning, and after collecting the girls back at the hotel we drove to the Kennedy Space Center. The first hour or two of driving on the right hand side of the road are always a bit exciting, and this morning was no exception.
The Kennedy Space Center was awesome. You know you've arrived when suddenly you spot a retired space shuttle parked just near the road. The facilities for visitors are outstanding. Currently a shuttle is located on the launch pad for an April 19 launch and we were able to view it from an observation platform. We also visited the Apollo visitor center which features an actual Saturn rocket, a command module and a lunar landing module. Later in the afternoon we experienced a ride in a space shuttle lift off simulator.
Altogether an outstanding day. Tomorrow we drive from Orlando to Miami along the scenic coastal road.
