Today Buzz took Patrick and I to the Kennedy Space Center. Awesome.

I can't believe we almost went to Universal instead. This was the first time Buzz had been there as well. "It's a lot better than I imagined," he said.

It's hard to know what to even start with. Seeing the famous countdown clock. The control room where so much of human history has played out. Standing underneath one of the three surviving Saturn V rockets. Seeing the IMAX movie filmed from the Space Shuttle. Looking at the names on the memorial of astronauts who've died on missions.

Add into that the Bald Eagle that swooped over our bus. The aligators and turtles we saw.

The space shuttle waiting to be launched on Monday.

Emotions and almost-forgotten black-and-white TV images and family memories (I was four years old when Armstrong landed on the moon) came rushing back.

If you come to Orlando, trust me, skip a day of waiting in lines and giving the Walt Disney Co. more of your hard earned money. Go to the Space Coast instead.
