Zero Gravity, Lunar Testing Site


Yesterday we visited North Eastern Arizona where NASA has a unique zero gravity testing grounds. We noticed it while we were driving when Diana's sunglasses floated off of her head. So we stopped and decided to have some fun. Due to the mass of the bus it stayed pretty well grounded. (As shown in photograph.) OK, so it's actually the drive through the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest National Park. But we really thought it looked like the moon. We were both skeptical that we would be impressed by this Park, but it was absolutely amazing. We definitely recommend a visit here. Thanks Ma and Pa C for the National Parks Pass! We have used it twice already. We continued on to Phoenix arriving around 11:00 Pacific Time. Grandma C fed us some hot tasty chili and cherry cheesecake and put us to bed. Diana said Jared is not allowed to eat Chili/Mexican on road trips anymore. (Praise God for Beano!)
