Texas senators: Move space shuttle Discovery from Smithsonian to Houston

NASA’s retired space shuttle Discovery may be removed from the Smithsonian and put on display in Houston, if two lawmakers from Texas get their way. U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Thursday (April 10) introduced the “Bring the Space Shuttle Home Act

NASA was incredible. You have to go. If you’re in Houston for the holidays, visit NASA. My kids loved it! #nasa #houstonspacecenter #funtimes #texasvacation (at NASA - Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX)

Went to Houston Space Center and got to go on a tram tour to visit the historic Mission Control Room at Johnson Space Center which was responsible for controlling the flights of many missions including the Apollo & Gemini missions. Got to go inside a Space Aircraft Carrier and the Space Shuttle Independence it was carrying. Pretty cool to visit and see various real scale models of launch pads, shuttles and the rich history of NASA here. Definitely want to go back for a more private tour

My mom Lucy Sorlucco is in Houston on the @rtc_nyc @cabaretthemusical tour and had the honor to spend the whole day with retired astronauts and awesome @nasa people at @spacecenterhou. I asked for an autograph from one of the select few that have strapped themselves to a rocket and went to broaden our frontier. I got back much more than an autograph from Ret. Shuttle Astronaut Clayton Anderson, author of "The Ordinary Spaceman". I immediately started tearing up when I read it. #space #astronaut #nasa #houstonspacecenter (at Space Center Houston)

Before I jet off to Europe, I wanted to do a recap of our life lately in Texas. We’ve been super busy, especially with Zach beginning tax season, but we’ve still managed to soak up some of the beautiful weather and have some fun.

The view from our apartment is beautiful. We can take walks or run along the marina, a feature I exploit as often as possible!

We love walking around the boardwalk area of Kemah. It’s such a cute little beach town with laid back vibes. For New Year’s Eve, fireworks were shot off of the boardwalk and we sat down on the rocks near the water on the other side of that lighthouse to watch them. It was so impressive seeing the fireworks framed in the water, hearing the waves, smelling the salt, and enjoying the fresh breeze – Zach and I were awestruck.

The boardwalk is beautiful at night. Zach and I find ourselves wandering down here most weekend nights, just to walk around and enjoy the lights.

My mom and younger brother visited for a long weekend recently, and we went to the Houston Space Center! It was neat seeing aircrafts that had actually been up in space. The rest of their visit was spent in onesie pajamas watching Gilmore Girls and making homemade cookies and gelato – perfect!

Soon after that, I had another visitor, a friend from college who recently moved to Dallas. We had a quintessential Texas dinner at T-Bone Tom’s, then went to Skallywag for a bit in the evening. The next day, we went on a hike at Pine Gully Park. It was a perfectly clear day, and the water and sky were brilliantly blue. However, the hike took us away from the water and we ventured into some desolate areas that reminded me of settings from the first season of True Detective!

I was just running errands one Sunday and I pulled over to snap some pictures of the sunset. It felt like a very Texan setting – I halfway expected some tumblewood to blow by!

The first picture above is the view from our gym. The second is just a shot of a budding tree against a clear blue sky – I was feeling artsy.

I took this on a walk around the marina one evening. I’ll never get tired of that view.

Both of the photos above are from a sunset I accidentally caught one evening while walking to get our mail.

Valentine’s day! The Fannie May chocolates are from my parents, while Zach took me to a nice dinner at Opus Bistro Saturday night and surprised me with flowers Sunday morning.

The photos don’t do the food at Opus any justice… it was all delicious! I got red snapper with crab and shrimp on top, while Zach got a juicy steak. We were so hungry and the food was so good that I didn’t even get a picture! ;) For dessert, we chose the crème brûlée – it was absolutely delectable.

Space Vehicle Mockup Facility. One of the #NASA buildings used to train #astronauts. This one, the largest, holds models of various vehicles, spacecrafts, and ISS modules. It is a massive facility. @nasajohnson #thespacemedic #houstonspacecenter (at NASA's Johnson Space Center)
