NASA Johnson Space Center

Our visit in Houston was very short, only 1.5 days. We did some outlet shopping and went to explore the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. This one is smaller than the one in Florida and more kids oriented. Still, we found exhibits interesting for us.

We did the tram tour to the astronauts training facilities. This was the most interesting part of the whole visit.

The next day we got up at 3 am - this time not because Ziggy decided it's time - but because we wanted to make it to Uvalde for the World Gliding Championship opening ceremony.
