This year, my birthday came at me kind of fast. I saw a purple envelope in the mail and I just automatically assumed it was for the baby shower, not a birthday card - haha.
But it still turned out to be a nice day, especially since it was also KSC Family Day. Every few years KSC employees are allowed to take family and friends onto the space center. This is the second time they've done it since we've lived here and we've tried to take take advantage of it because you get access to buildings that you'd never get to see unless you work there. I think it made for a great birthday gift!

Here's a picture of one of the firing rooms - countdown clock and all
Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)
Each of those stars on the flag are 6 feet tall tip to tip!
Inside the VAB. It's hard to look up without getting vertigo
I think that was Jonah's favorite building to see.
Jonah helping Mommy sign the banner for the last shuttle launch ever!
Jonah gets to see where Daddy works
Not sure what this is called but it's the structure they use to mate/demate the shuttle from the plane if it has to land someone besides KSC
Some cool looking plane they put on display at the landing strip
Jonah and his "cool-cool"s That's what he calls them because whenever he puts them on we always say "Jonah, you're so cool!"
I guess I should also mention that Dwight surprised me with a cheesecake and a bag of mini 3 musketeers which I've been constantly craving most of this pregnancy :) Yeah, it was a good birthday.
Happy 27 years to me!
