Bane Family Hits the Road - Huntsville

Loaded in Mamaw & Papaw's van and ready for the adventures ahead of us! 

Devin is happy to get the day started.  

We started our day at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.  The boys were excited to learn all about space. 

One of the many rockets at the Space and Rocket Center.  All of these rockets have been launched in Huntsville.  The most famous where the Saturn Rockets.  

Standing underneath a huge rocket and their enormous engines.  

This is a simulation of the moon's surface. 

Inside one of the helicopters on display.

Tate showing off his muscles and letting us know we needed to check out the helicopter. 

This is a good comparison of how tall these rockets stand.  The boys are standing at the base, it's huge.

Exploring all the exhibits at the Space and Rocket center. 

Future Astronauts??

Not so sure about these two?

Tate inside the capsule.  Its so hard to image being launched into space in this relatively small vessel.  

Devin and Tate both have some serious growing before this could become a real career.

One example of the huge engines on the Saturn V Moon Rocket. 

This Saturn V Rocket is one of three in the world.  It is a National Historic Landmark.

Look how little we look.  A family picture in front of the Space Shuttle.

Tate all dressed up like an astronaut.  

I also had to try my hand at being an astronaut.

Devin and Greg are very serious, all while playing the simulation game. 
 Mom was just along for the ride.
