Spring Break in Texas

We spent our Springs Break visiting my family in Texas. While we were there we visited a few of the sites around Baytown and Houston.

Battleship Texas in Baytown




Galveston Beach



Space Center Houston



My Godfather works in Mission Control, so he took us on a great tour of the old and present control rooms. We were even invited to sit in on a plaque hanging ceremony for the last mission of the space shuttle Discovery and meet the crew. That was an honor!



Commemorative plaques from the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia missions

This is a mistaken photo, from the battleship. I didn't feel like starting all over with the post!
