Air and Space Museum

Mike and I just got back from a trip to Washington DC with my family. We spent a few days there and started our vacation with a trip to the air and space museum. Mike was super excited about this museum and if we had decided to go home after seeing the airplanes I think he would have been ok with that :) I have never seen Mike as excited as he was driving up to this museum. It was so much fun to see him so happy.

The Enola Gay
This was the airplane that dropped the atomic bomb. It is my favorite airplane in the museum. I could have stared at it all day.


The Enterprise: The US space shuttle
I think that seeing this was my favorite part of the entire museum. It was huge and amazing to see. It looked like it was made of paper and actually kind of fake. It has to be made of an incredibly light and yet strong substance which is what makes it look like its made of paper. Its amazing to see though.

Mike in front of the Kingfisher. This is the airplane that his grandpa flew in WWII. This was mike's favorite airplane. This just one of about 10 pictures that mike took of this plane.








The Concord




This was an amazing museum and I highly recommend it if you ever go visit DC. In my opinion, this museum is 10 times better than the air and space museum on the mall.

More pictures and details of our trip to come soon :)
