But, the fog lifted by the time we were ready to go. Then as we stepped off the boat to leave, we saw a large Manatee right under our bow. Very exciting:
The pups couldn't see it, and had no idea why everyone was
so excited
Raising its head to breathe (you can see
Greg peering over the dock in the water's reflection)
We finally stopped looking at the Manatee and headed over to the Kennedy Space Center. We took the tour and really enjoyed seeing the exhibits. The Space Program brought about many good changes into our lives, and now with the end of the Shuttle program, the Space Center is in a state of renewal. The Shuttle Atlantis will be there on display next summer. So we will have to come back to see it up close.
