A Day at the Museum

We woke up to a Saturday with absolutely no plans... no soccer, no swimming, no parties, no errands, no grocery shopping. What to do with a full day on our own? We drove to the Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport. Even though we had been there before, the boys did not remember it. After all, Evan was only two and Keagan was "zero" years old. We thought Evan would be fascinated with the space shuttle Enterprise and the airplanes, but he really couldn’t have cared less. But I thought it was wonderful!

Both boys were more excited to see and ride the glass elevator. However, we were able to show the boys the P-38, or Lightening, the plane that Wes's grandfather Toole flew in WW2. 

We all agreed that the best part of the trip was the IMAX movie, "The Blue Planet." The big screen, the wonderful images taken of Earth from space, and the special effects made the movie memorable. Now that we have our Smithsonian membership card, we plan to return.
