The Air and Space Museum
Today we ventured out to the Air and Space Museum that is about 15 minutes from our house. It has been open for about 4 years, but this was our first visit. It was really cool!! Mason and Abby loved it.
The observation deck was neat, the kids watched planes taking off from Dulles Airport... it was constant! There are 18,000 employees at Dulles... I was so surprised to learn so much neat stuff. They have 6 runways, each 2 miles long. The Space Hanger was mommy's favorite! I loved the space stations they had and all the space shoes, gloves, and other personal items astronauts had taken into space with them. Interesting stuff!
The kids loved these computers, you could choose any aircraft you were interested in and it would give you information about it and then show you a map to the craft in the museum... amazing!

Mason and Abby in the Observation Deck. They were watching planes take off from Dulles, and they loved it! Mason looks scared, but he was really having fun, I promise.
Pretty cool lollipops from the gift shop...
