Earth, The Moon, or Mars?

For some unknown reason, Bob got the "wild" idea to go to NASA Sunday after he had worked all night.  Loving to drive, and he being a little tired, I drove to the space center.  


Beautiful day, clouds fluffy, and little or no traffic made it an easy drive to Cape Kennedy.  A few things have changed since I was last there.  The 3-4 hr bus ride is now broken up into 3 stops instead of being one continuous drive and only "viewing" different areas.  They have even added 2 or 3 new restaurants.  After the bus ride, Bob was pretty much wiped out, he was ready to go.  (short and sweet trip).
With the few pictures I did manage to take, they seemed to be fairly clear.  I enjoyed seeing the changes, but we really didn't see anything new.  I guess it's hard to conjure up new experiences once the idea has been introduced.  We did have a good lunch at Cracker Barrel.

Unfortunately, today I am a little achy and really need to take a day off.  I was going to see my friend, the other Sheila, who had to have emergency surgery Sat night, but I text to tell her how I felt and she agreed that I needed to rest.  Mock is also in the hospital; some sort of heart arrhythmia.  He expects to have a stress test before they will let him leave; probably some time tomorrow.  Some people.  They just couldn't stand me having all the medical attention.  Good luck and prayers to both.
