Houston staycay

Me and my family went to Houston on Wednesday and came back last night. First we saw The San Jicinto Monument which looks a lot like the Washington monument but it's actually taller. Then we saw a real battleship and got to walk around inside the barricks and the engine room and the very top(lots of stairs to lots of decks) and look through the porthole to the captain's control room and the engines. The kitchen the nurses office the dentists the captian's baricks and a whole bunch of neet stuff. Of course though there was no air conditioning back in WWII so it was very hot and stinky but it was cool to see all of that amazing stuff and pretend I was back in WWII. Then we went to our hotel on the Kemah Boardwalk which was like a carnival with a double decker carousel two death traps a bunch of stuff that made me dizzy two kiddy rides(That I didn't go on) and a couple of expensive restaurants. Then Yesterday we went to THE JOHNSON SPACE CENTER AND IT WAS AWSOME! Especially since it was the day that they launched Atlantis for the last space shuttle launch ever and I got to see the training facility and the people broadcasting it on the news. I also got to see THE SATURN 5 aka the rocket that took Apollo eleven to the moon! eep! Also we bought freeze dried ice cream and the patches of the shuttle missions that blew up. We got the audio tours and saw the cool movies and toured the mock up Sky Lab and the front of a mock up Space Shuttle. I learned stuff and had fun. I recommend that you go for your next vacation. Texas is better than Virginia take that Kenna! No offense to any Virginians.
