We were pleasantly surprised at how interesting the Kennedy Space Center was. The size of the Saturn V rocket that sent the astronauts to the moon is almost unimaginably large and had so many parts that all had to work perfectly. There was also a great 3D IMAX movie movie about the earth narrated by Jennifer Lawrence and the International Space Station astronauts about their perspective of the earth below. It was very striking to see the night-time images of South Korea next to North Korea - bright lights vs complete darkness.
We were worn out before we had seen everything!
The trip down wasn't bad until we got to the Miami area where it was very congested. Like driving around Los Angeles but with much worse drivers. Three cars crashed into each other just beside us but we weren't able to stop.
