Titusville, Florida
January 14, 2009
When we left Savannah this morning, it was sunny and 35 F. After we got gas ($1.79—just about everywhere we have been), we stopped at Huddle House, a southern restaurant chain we found two years ago. By 10:20 a.m. we were in Florida drinking fresh orange juice at the Welcome Center and enjoying 51 F warmth!
We stopped at the Kennedy Space Center near Titusville about 2:15 p.m. We had not been there since June 17, 1985 when we took Randy and Brian to see the Shuttle Discovery launched.

I have always been interested in the space program and even filled out an application for the Teacher in Space Program in the 80s. A project I had my students do involved naming the last-built space shuttle before its first flight in 1985—our choice was a Rising Star, a name I always loved (Atlantis was chosen). Anyway, Tim and I saw the IMAX movie about the man on the moon Apollo flight, and did the “Space Shuttle Experience,” a sort of ride that simulates the shuttle launch with a feeling of intense gravity, powerful shaking, the roar of engines, then space, and a view of the earth. It was a mild ride compared to Waldameer’s Ravine Flyer, but an interesting experience nevertheless.
Sun sun sun! and high of 62 F!!!!
Tonight's stay is at the Days Inn in Titusville, FL.
Gastronomic delight of the day:
Huddle House ham and cheese omelettes—I do not know what they do, but their omelettes are the best in the world.
Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant—fresh fried shrimp and crab bites—excellent!
TK’s Topics: the Florida Welcome Center’s orange juice and driving through Jacksonville without trauma.
