Ms. Pengra's Adventure
Hello from Texas!
Since we had Saturday off, we went to Galveston which is right off the Gulf of Mexico. While there, I wanted to write my class a message in the sand! In case you cannot read it, it says "Hello 2306 from Galveston, Texas, 2/9/08"
Hello everyone back in Minnesota!  Wow...we just arrived yesterday, and I do not even have words for what we've seen so far!  I'll be writing every day about my adventures down in Houston, Texas, my experiences at Ellington Field, Johnson Space Center, and most importantly: my reduced gravity flight!

Ahhhhhhh!  Today was the day!  We flew on the C-9 aircraft and I didn't even get sick!  This was a HUGE accomplishment for me!

Today was our TRR (Test Readiness Review)...talk about a STRESSFUL day!  We also loaded our experiments on to the C-9-this is actually real!  This is happening tomorrow!

Good Morning America was down here today!  We were actually in the same location as they were!  We were at Johnson Space Center, and the Sonny Carter Training Facility.

We took off early this morning for Johnson Space Center. I can hardly believe after all this work that we are finally here!
