NASA Houston

Houston Traffic

So on a spur of the moment idea, the three hobos and our aunt decided to go to NASA in Houston. The drive was interesting, but mostly because we were finding the funny things along the highway. One good shot was a Mexican riding in the back of a pickup at 80mph, dont judge - three Florida boys find that funny Also the city was blowing up a bridge over I-45, so my aunt had to try to avoid the traffic from that... didnt work sorta. So after an hour of driving we get to the place.

The first thing we did was take a trolley tour out to the simulator building. The tour guides highlight of the whole building was the filing cabinet room.. WOOT filing cabinets my tour is complete!!!..... not quite lol.

Next stop was the Saturn V rocket. This thing was FREAKEN HUDGE!!!!!! to see them on tv and in movies is one thing, but to stand next to one out of this world �" pun intended.

The song that comes to mind is the following (curdisy of George)

“You see me flying, my three stage. They try to ketch me flying dirty... flying dirty. My booster is so big, they thrusting. They hoping they gona see me flying dirty. “ This remix is brought to you by the song ride'n by chillionair and George talent. Them boys can keep them 24s, we got a three stage ^_^

The rest of the time was in-side the tourist center, seeing the rockets and movies.

Lunch was a place called Free Bird. Some big ass burritos. My aunt bought us each a “Super Monster”. These bad boys were about 18” long 6-8” around and about 2lbs. She didnt think any of us would finish them... she was wrong lol Yummy. Though Nick failed at unwrapping it he finished it, George... ehhh he didnt do so well. He will finish it tomorrow lol

The pics are a rough cut - will fix at home lol doing the photo uploads on the fly on "borrowed" internet from the neighbors lol
