Rockets, Heroes & Blues

3... 2.... 1... BLAST OFF! We woke at 5 a.m. and we left at 6 a.m. I played my Game Boy while my Dad drove the car and my mom slept and slept and slept. Hee, hee, hee. When we got to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, we found this cool rocket on the ceiling. It was humongous and it was called the Saturn V. We got to see a fake rocket blast off and it was funny. Then we saw them make a lava lamp. We saw a rocket ship that didn't work and you could press buttons. Then we went on a very scary ride - the Mars Mission Simulator. I felt like I was going to throw up. Ewwwww. We went to Big Bob Gibson's BBQ in Decatur, Alabama and I didn't feel like I was going to throw up anymore. Yea! They have lots of trophies for BBQ, but I liked the CHOCOLATE PIE!!! Sorry, Grandaddy, I didn't save you any. Then we went to Memphis, Tennessee to see the National Civil Rights Museum. This museum is at the hotel where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed. I felt sad that people treated black people bad. I'll bet Ruby Bridges felt sad that people didn't like her. I got a souvenir at the museum. We took our stuff to the hotel and then we went to Beagle Street? (Dad- "Beale Street"). Yeah, Beale Street. We ate at B.B. King's restaurant. It's better than McDonalds or Chick-Fil-A. There was blind guy playing the harmonica. My Dad said he would pay me five dollars to dance with some wild lady who was dancing on the stage all by herself, but I danced with my Mom instead. He gave me three dollars. We walked around Beale Street and it began to thunder so we walked back to our car.
