I thought I would share a few photos of what the living situation was for the week. The teachers stayed at the University of Alabama-Huntsville dorms. We each had our own sleeping quarters, and shared a shower, toilet and sink with one other person. It was a pretty tight squeeze. The bed was really high. Not great for someone who is vertically challenged.
When kids and families come to Space Camp, they stay on the Rocket Center property. The building below has 4 floors. 3 are for boys and 1 is for girls. The girls have another building as well. Families stay together in rooms. The rooms have about 7 beds in them and lockers for the kids to store their personal items. Lights out is at 10:00 every night.
The rooms look very 'space-like' and so does the building. Everything is surrounded by a tall fence with security, so the kids are safe.
The food was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It was served cafeteria style. Teachers could sit wherever they wanted, but at the kid camp, kids sat with their team.

I was waiting at the airport with two of my teammates, Anne Marie from Maryland and Art from Oklahoma. We were ready to go- but were still smiling!
The dogs were so excited when I finally arrived home. Special thanks to the following people who helped make this trip possible: Erich Peltz, Melissa Tackett, Bill Howell, Barb Bushnell, and The Duemlers. I was able to enjoy myself knowing that everything was taken care of back home!
I learned so much and had a real blast!
