Kennedy Space Center (NASA) - Our journey through space and science, Florida

Many years ago during a family trip to Florida, we took our space-loving teenager to explore NASA's Kennedy Space Center. My kid had been dreaming of this moment for years devouring books on physics since elementary and eagerly following every NASA website. Seeing the eyes light up as we approached the entrance, I knew this day would be special. I still remember the excitement the moment we walked through the gates and were greeted by the iconic Rocket Garden. I watched my teenager with eyes wide with awe as he stood among these towering giants of space exploration. He eagerly pointed out the various rockets, rattling off facts and stories he had learned over the years. As a parent, it was incredible to witness his passion come alive.  Next, we made our way to the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. His excitement was contagious as he navigated the interactive displays explaining to us the intricacies of the shuttle's design. In that moment, I felt a swell of pride knowing that his

I remember to this day, as soon as I watched the first movie in 2001, I immediately bought the Initial Harry Potter book series πŸ“—πŸ“˜πŸ“™ written by J. K. Rowling ( Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets ) and when the later books released I went to Borders bookstore and bought them esp. Order of the Phoenix (2003), Half-Blood Prince (2005) and Deathly Hallows (2007).  When Universal Studios California introduced Harry Potter themed area, I was so excited since we lived in pacific region and the child in me had always wanted to experience the magical Wizarding World after seeing the movies. So, we booked the tickets and went to Universal California again and this time to visit "Harry Potter" themed area only and we

We visited many places in US including Theme parks, beaches, lakes, waterfalls, mountain ranges, valleys and some unique places which were definitely worth seeing at least once.  Was going thru my photo album and came across our 10 days vacation @ Florida when we visited 7 years ago during Christmas holidays and I believe Florida is one the best place to visit although do not underestimate the Florida's high temperatures and the humidity throughout the year. The weather forecast would always be warm even during winter. Since we had 10 days vacation, we first landed in Orlando airport and we picked the following places/ itinerary on a road trip till east coast of Florida including many stops at various beaches, a day trip to Kennedy Space Center and few more detailed below.  I am still working on writing about each place in detail and will upload the article in the blog whenever possible . So, watch out for my latest updates regularly!!!😎 Orlando: • Universal Studio
