How cool was it to get to go behind the scenes with astronaut Christina Hammock Koch, who spent a year on the International Space Station and is breaking all sorts of records for women in space?!? Tina and I go way back to high school....no, I'm not telling you how far back that is...

We suggest joining the NASA Passport Program, which has interesting benefits and will entitle you to discounts. On the second floor of the Space Center is an educators' department, where all educators (including homeschooling teachers) are allowed to pick-up free resources and even request copies of DVDs with lesson plans. It's definitely worth checking out.
Could you live here for a year??? The Russian / Soyuz component
My son LIVES for airplanes and space...he was a happy little clam!
Getting to go inside the ISS Mock-Up was a trip highlight
We couldn't go to the Gulf Coast and not actually spend time at the beach, so we visited Pleasure Pier in Galveston and Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah. Both are great places to spend the afternoon as a family - with rides, games, eateries, and shopping.
My children are always doing these poses...I owed them one.
