[Moblog] Space Camp

Our first stop on our spring break roadtrip is Huntsville, Alabama - not only the future home of my employer, but also home of U.S. Space Camp.

Shelby, Jarrett and Sophie are dwarfed in Space Shuttle Park, beneath the PATHFINDER.

Tomorrow, we'll head to New Orleans for beignets and cafe au lait at Café du Mond (plus an after-sunset "Haunted Tour"). We'll then spend Tuesday walking the terrain of two Civil War battlefields: Vicksburg, MS (the CSA's last fortress on the Mississippi River, which fell the day after Gettysburg) and Shiloh, TN (the bloodiest single-day of the war before Antietam).
