Today we had a VERY long day. Our first stop was the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum outside of Washington D.C near Dulles Airport. We had already seen the space shuttle Atlantis in Florida and now got to see the spaceship Discovery!
Nathan had another nice birthday present visiting an air and space museum!! We let him get presents from the gift shop here. Here he is in front of a blackbird. He loves these.
Discovery!
The area around the museum was so beautiful!
We went up into the tower and the views were incredible. If there were chairs, I would have sat up there all day and just looked at the views and the planes landing and taking off from Dulles.
The bottom of a blimp!
Enola Gay-dropped the atomic bomb in Japan.
More space shuttle Discovery photos.
After we left the museum, we headed right for Dulles and dropped our car off. We dropped the car off at 3:00 and our flight left around 5:00 for Seattle. We got home around 8:00 our time and then took the shuttle bus to Jiffy Car Parking. From there, we drove all the way home. We were exhausted. We dropped Laura off at Vantage around 10:30 and the grandparents took her home. We got to our house about 1:00 AM and went right to bed! We had another successful trip and saw so many news places and historical things!!! We now have just 10 states left to visit in the lower 48. We hope to do one last big trip next summer to see those remaining 10 states.
