Space Center Houston

Space Center Houston

Christmas Eve 2012 - For Christmas, we went down to Pearland, Texas to meet my Auntie Marily (Papa's cousin) and her family for the first time. We had a great time, especially the kids. They enjoy being around family and all of us spending quality time together. 

One place we visited was Space Center Houston. It was very kid friendly, but even us grownups had fun, too! 


Kristian fell asleep on the way over.


After watching a short film, we browsed a collection of artifacts that included modules, rockets, and capsules.
