Day Twelve: San Antonio, TX, to Lafayette, LA: 460 miles

We had breakfast at the hotel in San Antonio this morning, and then we went to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. That was really neat, but we didn’t think it was a good as the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Chippy and Daddy both really liked the model space shuttle. On the way out we got to see the Gulf of Mexico! It was very beautiful. Tonight we are staying in Lafayette, LA.
