Dear Holly,

When I was a kid, I ended up at the Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville every summer- whether it was through Cub Scouts, a field trip through school, or our family visiting there.

So it’s odd for me to imagine that this past week made the first time ever that Mommy and I took you and your brother there.

Granted, your favorite part was stopping by the souvenir shop on our way out. And what did you choose?

A stuffed animal that is a personified version of the planet Mars…

Sure, why not?!

Love,

Daddy
