Our first stop in Houston was the Johnson Space Center Underwater Training Center
This pool is 50 feet deep and 220 feet long 120 feet wide.
Each Astronaut spends 9 hours a day training.
They will train 17-19 hours underwater for every 1 hour of space walk.

Awards Dinner was Friday Night. This dinner was just like the Emmy's.
It was a black tie dinner. It was fun to get all dressed up and spend the night with my
very smart and talented husband. I am so proud of what he has done so early in his career.
Yummy food at the Awards Dinner.
