FL Day 3: May 25

Leaving Little Talbot Island, we took the scenic route through downtown Jacksonville.

We arrived at the Kennedy Space Center early in the afternoon. We didn't realize that it would cost us any money until we saw that admission was about $40/person. After a few minutes of fretting about it, we decided to do it anyways since we made the trip down there to begin with. Also, after doing it just this once, we won't have to worry about going there for the rest of our lives since we already did it.

My favorite part at the Kennedy Space Center was the bus tour. I enjoyed listening to things that the driver was telling us. The government owns all of this land which is mostly untouched, so we saw plenty of wildlife including alligators, bald eagles, and egrets. The bus dropped us off at various places on the base where we took a look around at big buildings and equipment.

These horrid vultures were everywhere.

After the bus tour we went on a ride "shuttle launch experience." This was pretty fun. Finally, we saw a 3-D I-MAX about astronauts on the moon.

We have been very fortunate this week as it only rained while we were traveling in the car or lightly in the middle of the night as we were sleeping.
We eventually arrived at Wekiwa Springs State Park, north of Orlando, to stay for the night.
