Smithsonian Air and Space Museum

The Air and Space Museum was huge and seeing all the planes hanging from the ceiling and exhibits spread throughout the two floors was a lot to take in and we didn't know which way to go. But Colton quickly led us to where he could see the missiles.
As we walked through the exhibits pointing out various displays that we thought would amuse the kids Colton, Jay and I took turns recording with pictures our experience in the sky.
Even Sarah was thrilled to escape the restrictions of earth and her stroller and take to higher ground as she enjoyed the hands on exhibit about the airline industry through the years and today.
Colton was our curious little scientist as he tried each and every experiment in the air current and movement exhibit. Here Colton is seeing how the air flows around a plane wing when it is in different positions.
Sarah adores her brother and likes to do whatever he does no matter what is may be. Here they are standing side by side to get a closer look at the Wright brothers' first airplane. Did you know the wings of that plane were covered in simple muslin fabric. Amazing!!
You can't go to Washington DC without seeing the capital building, even from a distance. Next time we will be sure to make arrangements to have an inside tour.
