Leaving New Orleans we found a place that the kids could hold a live alligator. It was a 2 1/2 year old gator, and of course the boys loved it.

We were too late to see much of NASA, so we found a hotel and stayed over. The we "swam" in the pool. Kiefer, after floating for 20 seconds in the gulf all by himself and making good progress in his goal to learn how to swim, managed to float almost a full second here. Kelby will pass them both if this continues.
The next morning at NASA we seen a Saturn V rocket, the old Mission Control, and the training building where the astronauts train on a full sized shuttle orbiter and full sized space station modules. They had a play center for the kids like at a McDonalds except it is about 10 times larger with multiple exits. Great for kids, a nightmare for parents trying to extract the kids.
