In addition to hanging out in town, we decided to go on a mini roadtrip while we were in Topeka. The girls have never been to the Cosmosphere space center and it's been years and years since we've been.
Before I give you the meat and potatoes though, here are some appetizers.

Here we go now...
To be honest, we double dipped. On the way to Hutchinson, we stopped in Abilene to see the Eisenhower Museum.
 |
| We waited for a while before our tour of his boyhood home. |
At the Cosmosphere, they have an entire
HUGE airplane in the lobby. I can't believe I didn't get a good picture of the whole thing, but here we are at the tip of the airplane.
It's cool - there are no ropes - you can touch it, take pictures with it...
...or even sit your kids on it.
 |
| MayLee is looking at what we soon found to a lunar module. Pretty cool. |
 |
| Alyson was kind enough to share her chapstick (tap-stitch) with Grandma C |
 |
| The girls got to learn about Mars explorers |
 |
| Aly got to sit in an ejection seat |
 |
| Grammy, Grandpa C and MayLee next to the Apollo 13 space ship command center. Uh yeah. I said the Apollo 13 command center. The one they made a movie about. |
 |
| MayLee fell asleep in Grammy's arms |
 |
| Grammy and MayLee (asleep) in front of a the Lunar Module |
We had a blast - an awesome, exhausting and memorable day! Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, Grumpy and Aunt Rachel!
