LOL, thanks for the camera info. Actually I wondered if you were on a tour of some kind? I didn't know that you could get pictures inside the building.

We took a tour in 2000 and found it very interesting but I think I remember the bus travelling by the shuttle building and an empty crawler sitting outside.

I can't wait to show DH your pictures when he gets home tonight! We visited KSC after our Disney Cruise this past Feb. and everyone there had their fingers crossed for a successful shuttle this spring. You make it feel like we were right there with you. Thanks again.
