A Tall, Metal Tree

Today’s portion of my drive to Florida included my first visit to Alabama. NASA has a space center in Huntsville, Alabama, so one of the real rockets from the past is on display at the Welcome Center along I-65. It’s an amazing sight and you can see it from miles away in Tennessee. I was excited to get closer to it and even more excited when my father decided to pull into the Welcome Center for a bathroom break.
As we drove past the rocket to get to the parking spaces, I discovered that I didn’t need to be as excited as I was, because I wasn’t going to get to see much of the rocket. The thing is, it’s buried in a big patch of trees so that people don’t get too close to it. Or if there was a way to get close to it, I didn’t find it. Disappointed, I took a picture of the huge metal “tree” poking up out of the mini-forest.
