Creative ways to have a soda in space

Today we went to the Museum of Space History.  It has a lot of nice exhibits on the history of space flight but was not as impressive as the other museums we have visited.  It did have some interesting relics from the early days of rocket testing done at White Sands as well as some good examples of early rockets developed by other countries.  The museum did a good job of portraying the scientists that left German and cam to the United States after WW II to work on our rocket program which lead to The United States traveling to the Moon.  They also had a NIIKI Missile like the ones that used to be based in Glouster RI.  The old missile sight used to be located near Fogarty Memorial School. 

In the afternoon We went to WalMart to catch up on our grocery and supplies shopping.  It is convenient to be able to do all our shopping in one store.  We can even get an oil change if we need it.
