We have been out of Virginia for a little over a week and it's strange; so far it feels more like a vacation than a change in our living situation. Perhaps that's because we haven't done any school (this is a scheduled break for Mommy's sanity). Perhaps it's because we've been doing so many fun things each day (swimming at the pool, flying kites, playing shuffleboard, etc). Whatever the case, I'm kind of looking forward to when we settle into a more "normal" schedule. At the end of each day, I feel so tired and yet I feel like there are so many things I wanted to get done inside the camper to make it more comfortable to live in long-term.
We have settled into a campground across the Indian River from Kennedy Space Center. It's a local park and is absolutely beautiful. It is shaded just enough that you don't roast or get too cold. They also maintain it well and the staff is very helpful. As of right now we are scheduled to stay for a couple more weeks (so hopefully the launch will actually happen before we leave). Unfortunately they are already booked for Memorial Day weekend, so we are going to use that as our cue to head over to the west coast of Florida to visit family and friends there for a couple weeks. We want to come back to this campground at some point, but the final shuttle launch is scheduled for the end of June and they are already booked, so we shall see.
Tomorrow we are off to Kennedy to take the tour and see the shuttle on the launch pad (we are camping 10 miles away which means it looks like a speck on the horizon). I want the kids to see it up close to help them realize it's magnitude.
So far, life on the road has been relatively uneventful and relaxing.
