Space Shuttle Atlantis at Kennedy Space Center

We decided to take advantage of living in a tourist state and made a trek out to Kennedy Space Center for an overnight stay and tour. It was my birthday Monday the 16th (turned 45!) and I hadn’t been since I was a kid of about 10. So it seemed like a great time to change that.

I was a HUGE space-obsessed girl so getting to see an actual space shuttle literal feet away was amazing. She’s been to actual space!

So yeah, it was pretty darn cool for this space nerd and thought I’d share!

Thanks! I also loved how scorched the bottom tiles are. Really shows the impact of re-entry!
