The travel plans for March seemed SO exciting! Duane was headed to a neuroscience class in Chile to enrich his career, while Sarah and the kids were headed to Cape Canaveral to see one of the final space shuttle launches ever. Those were the plans. However, neither event was a "go." Both got postponed.

Due to an earthquake in Chile, Duane ended up enriching his career with hard work at home.

Along with Grandma and Grandpa, Sarah and the boys visited Kennedy Space Center anyway. Though there was no launch, the visit boosted any history or science lesson the boys would have had at home! Also, Daniel got an opportunity to ask an astronaut a question that had been bothering him: "Why does a space shuttle have such a large, round tip, while a comparatively slow-flying Concorde is pointed?"
