Hi to all!!! Well yes, after several weeks I am now back with more photos! :D (what else do I post on here? :P) Well, anyway, this time I want to share with you photos of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We are now enjoying Fall Break, and to kick it off Mom and Dad very kindly took me and my sister to Huntsville. Going to the Space Center was really an amazing experience--several priceless treasures there. Among my favorites were the restored Saturn V rocket (suspended sideways), a mock-up Saturn V standing guard outside of the entrance--this one's standing up TALLL---363 feet tall!! It was unbelievable to see. (it goes without saying that it was hard to get a shot of the whole rocket in one shot!) They also had the Apollo 16 Command Module Casper and several nice rockets inside and outside. Inside the main museum there was an exhibit on the Space Shuttle--even a cool game where you could build the Space Shuttle!! I'm sure you can see I had a great time. Below are photos--taken by my mother, father, and me. :)P.S.--I added 5 new (un)shiny pennies to my squished penny collection! :)
