Spring Break-Day 4
Magic Kingdom!
“It’s a small world, after all!”
Caleb had mixed feelings about standing by goofy, but everyone was excited to tour the Swiss Family Robinson tree house, since we read the book before visiting.

Spring Break - Day 1
Kennedy Space Center
This was a great field trip day since we had been studying astronomy.
The crawler transporter pictured above carried the shuttle to the launch pad. It weighs 6 million pounds and moves 1 mile an hour when loaded. The picture below shows the “road” it uses. The two 40 ft wide lanes are separated by a 50 ft wide grass median. The gravel you see is 4-8 inches deep and all the layers of the road together are 7 feet deep.
Rocket garden
After leaving KSC we stopped by the beach for a windy evening romp in the sand. Back tomorrow for swimming!
