Well, here it is... a photo journal of sorts from my spring break adventures. Thought it'd be more entertaining than me blabbing on forever. Enjoy!*Just thought this sign was funny... I saw it in the Colorado airport. Maybe that's what people should call me instead!
*This is a statue of one of the Apollo 13 guys. When I saw it, I realized it was the same airport we had gone to on the DC trip two years ago! I have a picture of me posing by it in my photo album.
*Welcome to Texas! It's the Houston city lights at night. It's a little blurry, but taking pics on the freeway isn't always easy! 
*Here's the Pontiac Torrent we got to drive half-way across the country (When we added all the miles up, we did actually drive all the way across the country if you count the going and return trip!)
*And here we are at Johnson Space Center looking inside one of two mission control rooms. It was here that the fateful words were heard: "Houston, we have a problem". The middle screen is tracking the International Space Station and the right screen is a live feed from the ISS of the earth.
*This is the room where all the 
astronauts train. They have full size models of all ISS modules, a space shuttle, and "weightless" simulators. Pretty sweet!
*Here are some lovely examples of rockets including the ever-humongous Saturn V-5. No NASA visit is complete without a grassy field of space vehicles!
*Hey look, it's a famous Texas longhorn! They make their home at JSC. Granted, it's weird to see them grazing amid space ships... hmm...
*It's me exploring some shuttle drawers. The freeze-dried and water-deprived foods don't look that great... trust me.
*I wish I was the one floating around instead of the astronaut dude... :D
The official sign:
*Here I am enjoying the sun next to LeTourneau University's clock tower. I like the effect of my dad's shadow in the bottom corner...
*Yet another picture of me... this time showing off my new t-shirt.
*Here's a stuffed armadillo I got with a cute hat that says Texas on it. He was creatively named "Army". Of course the only real armadillos I saw in Texas were dead... on the side... of the road.
*I'm sorry, but it just made me laugh. What can I say?
*Goodbye Texas!!
