Everything was just great. The talk with the astronaut Guy Gardner was amazing. I wish I knew how long it would take to see all of it. I feel at least two days are needed. Loved it.

Our visit to the Space Center was nice. I bit harder for the 5 year old and Grandma with all the walking and the heavy rain. There are very few places to just hang out when it rains. It turned out to be a very long day for the group of us. If you can book two days to really spend time needed there do it as one day is just not enough time. The meet the Astronaut experience was amazing! All though the 5 year old had a hard time sitting through the event along with other younger children in the audience. Also know in advance that the Astronauts will not sign everything you buy there or bring to the event. Your photo is pre-signed. The 5 and 7 yr. old were really disappointed that the astronaut would not sign the t-shirt of the stuff animal astronaut we brought them there at the gift shop. Good trip overall.
