Winter Park is about 45 miles from Kennedy Space Center. It was close enough that traffic in the area would stop when there was a shuttle take off because everyone would be looking up in the sky.
My husband was reminding me that we could even see the rocket flames.
We never went to visit NASA while we were in Florida, unfortunately. It's amazing how much in Florida we didn't do while we were there. Now I want to go back and play visitor to catch up. :)
