American Girl's 2018 girl of the year: Aspiring astronaut Luciana Vega

It was so exciting to see the introduction of Luciana Vega as "Girl of the Year 2018" on Dec 28th on ABC's Good Morning America. We were at the American Girl Store for tea that afternoon when they announced that there would be a special event for Luciana on Jan 1st. Of course we made plans to be there.
