Florida!

Friday morning we woke up around 2 am, got ready and left for Pittsburgh airport.
Our flight departed at 6am via Atlanta and we arrived in Orlando around 10.30 in the morning. We picked up our hire car and drove 1 hour east to the Kennedy Space Centre, better known as NASA. Here we got to look through the shuttles astronauts, such as Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew rode in to the moon. There were also rockets on display that had been in to space, some of them we could look in. We watched an Imax film about landing on the moon too.

We were on a tight time line (as usual) so we had to leave (not before we tried to get in to the grounds where they actually launched the rockets from, but got denied) and headed to our check in at Fort Lauderdale, about 3.5hrs away from the space centre.

We checked in, then it was time to leave to see (baseball) Miami Marlins defeat the San Diego Padres 5-4. It was a great game, and we had the cliche hot dog and beer/wine for dinner! Its a shame the Marlins didn't get one more point, otherwise there was free donuts and coffee for everyone in the crowd!
