Three, Two, One, Blast Off!

Thursday, Bridger and I took a field trip to see rockets. I suppose one might think that he is too little to get much out of it, but we each enjoyed the day at our own level. Yes, lots of the Space and Rocket Center was over his head, both figuratively and literally, but to be fair, my understanding of space exploration is pretty darn limited too. Who cares - we had a fun time.Bridger walked on the moon in the new Davidson Center for Space Exploration. It was nice that it wasn't so busy. Without too many people, he could wander and pick what he wanted to look at. Lots of legwork for a short guy. One of his favorite things to see was the water tank replica which is used to train astronauts to work in weightlessness. We saw two scuba divers who were doing acrobatics. They waved at us, and that was funny, but when they swam up to the window, Bridger was ready to walk away.I think we broke a few rules while we were there. He wasn't really "climbing" on the display, was he?All astronauts need to eat. Bridger's choice was popcorn shrimp. Yum. Who knows what Bridger will end up doing when he is older! He is one smart fellow. Ready for blast off!
