Weekend Adventures

Laura, Kaare & Elizabeth stayed with us over the weekend, Thursday through Tuesday! We had a great time. On Sunday we went to SeaWorld with Brian & Leona and Sniper. We all took turns holding the baby. It was cute to see Robert pushing the baby buggy.

We had dinner with Rob, Karen & Anna that evening. The next day I went with L, K & E to KSC. Tim got Laura & Kaare badges, so we all met at NASA HQ for lunch. Bad idea. We almost got arrested because Elizabeth didn't have a badge! But it turned out they were more upset with the security guards at the gate for letting her pass. Elizabeth is going down in history as the first and only baby to visit NASA HQ at the Cape.

After lunch we went on the bus tour out to the launch gantry and Saturn V Center. We had a bus driver with a political score to settle. He's on a rampage about how our grandchildren are going to pay for the New Horizons spacecraft. Apparently it's going to start an interplanetary war with the people that live in the "undiscovered galaxy just past Pluto." No joke, this guy went on about it for more than 5 minutes!

So we had a nice and very eventful visit with our friends from Oklahoma.
