Actually, you probably will, since I sort of gave it away earlier.
We were there to witness the final launch of the space shuttle Discovery.
The Space Center is pretty cool. There are lots of things to see and do.
There are old astronauts...
and there are young astronauts.
There are huge displays like the Explorer...
and small (but awesome!) displays like the LEGO Rover.
This being Florida, there are even real alligators. This one came out of the water just to have his picture taken.
But all that paled in comparison to our real reason for being there -- seeing the shuttle. Here's the countdown! (It actually took a lot longer than you'd think, since they stop the countdown to make sure everything is OK.)
All sorts of people gathered in the Rocket Garden for a good view of the shuttle.
We were all watching the screen to see when it was going to happen... and eventually:
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
