Don't go in late September, either. By the end of the week we were battling 95+ F temperatures and heavy humidity. (Yes, we're now home. Where a "cool snap" just broke NJ out of identical weather.)
KSC these days is very well-handled. I did it as a kid, in the 80s, and in the 90s, and really, what they're doing now brings it all together a lot better, and makes the history of the space program very understandable and relatable. And they're preserving stuff now -- like the Apollo rocket -- which had previously been left exposed to the elements. Yeah, it's obvious that they've turned the whole tour thing over to an organization that knows how to manage a tourist site -- but you know, it doesn't suffer for that. They're actually quite respectful and are not submerging the science and history under glitz.
Oh, and let's see if the cauldron cake pic uploads properly now:
