National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center


We ditched swim practice on Wednesday because the weather was lousy and headed out to Dulles to see the National Air and Space Museum. It's the companion museum to the one on the National Mall. AJ is obsessed with airplanes these days so I knew he would be thrilled. Airplane is his favorite word right now.

Not a great picture lighting-wise, but it's a rare moment that I capture them both smiling at the camera.

AJ doing his normal "cheese" as soon as I whip out the camera. He couldn't believe all the airplanes in one place.

Both kids got a chance to sit in a Cessna cockpit. Maybe we'll have another pilot in the family someday. It's in their blood after all! Their Poppy was crazy (and brave) enough to take-off and land on an aircraft carrier!

AJ watching the planes land at Dulles. The observation tower was definitely the highlight of the day. The kids could roam free and watch all the airplanes they wanted.

A quick picture of our friends. Marcy, Jacob, and Ellie joined us for our last minute excursion. We had such a fun morning together.
