Air and Space Museum


On Monday after Christmas, we went to the new Smithsonian Air and Space Annex which is just a few miles from our house.

This picture is from waiting in line to go up to the control tower. The tower is pretty cool - you can see planes making their final approach and landing at Dulles airport.

The line was only about 20 minutes wait, but it was right around naptime so you can see we had to pull out all the stops to keep Sam happy:

Level 1 - binky
Level 2 - sit on shoulders
Level 3 - gouge dad's eyes

Overall, Sam had a good time at the museum. His favorite things were McDonalds, elevator, and looking for our car in the parking lot from the control tower.

Of course, after this picture was taken, Mike was in no shape to see anything, huh?!

Alas, everybody looks for their car from the control tower. Did you try your remote to see if you could unlock the doors from up there?

ha ha...didn't think of trying the remote.

funny about everyone looking for thier car!

it made me realize how proud the owner of the only yellow car must have felt when he cold easily spot his car.

i forgot to mention what shayna said when I asked what she liked best about the museum...it was also my fav. moment: she said when all the kids toppled onto me and I got to hug them all at the same time (me that is not Shayna)...when we were waiting for the elevator at the middle of the tower.

I guess Shayna is not destined to become an astronaut.
