This past week was a very special week for me. For the first time I got to have my sister come to Texas instead of me flying to Seattle! AND, she brought one of my cute nieces!! Doubly special!!*
We decided to make the most of the visit and headed to the Space Center here in Houston.

On the tram tour
The room where many missions have been controlled from. Very fun to randomly see Apollo 13 on German TV on my layover this week, too, because this room was grand central station for that movie!
Astronaut mock ups.
The building that housed the casings for one of the rockets they sent up to space. It was HUGE!
Did I mention. . .HUGE?
The moon room, where we got to actually touch the moon. . .well, a rock from there at least!
A poster of the aircraft in flight that are currently just sitting by the front entrance.

After the space visit, we hung out in my neighborhood the next day. G looks good in TX!*
. . .and she inherited Oma's genes when it comes to Yahtzee. This was her first roll in her first game every played. Needless to say, she won!*
I had to go to work after that, but the gate back to Seattle was right next to my work offices. So, G got a grand tour, and helped me check in for my trip before she headed out on her own flight back home. It was a super visit! *
