We took Phil & Melinda and family to the Smithsonian's Air & Space museum near Dulles Airport. I thought I'd be bored silly, but I loved how they had the planes displayed! It was colorful and fun. There was a high walkway where you could look down at or even eye-level with some of the planes and gliders, so you'd get a different perspective on it all. The Enola Gay is there; the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Kip took that picture, nice job. I noticed a LOT of old men there, and imagined they were reminiscing about the old helicopters and WWII fighter planes, and such. They had some beautifully polished wooden planes too. No, I was far from bored, but my feet were tired from walking, by the end. It's a huge place, to house all those aircraft!
