Saturday we rented a car so we could go to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center by Dulles Airport. As usual we rented the cheapest, smallest car we could get. Tosh showed up and got the keys to this...
My tip to anyone needing a rental is to wait until the night before and to rent online. You rent a Focus, you show up and apologetically they give you a Tahoe.
Here is The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center .
We went with our friends and Finn and baby C had a nice time.
They both got a chance to be a pilot.
The controls really moved the wings. (Are they called wings? I am no pilot.)
They enjoyed the planes, but the real excitement was felt by the dads. Tosh and C's dad were the ones who really enjoyed this!
Can you believe they can hang all of these from the ceiling?
So this is the plane that dropped the Atomic bomb. A very creepy sight to see indeed.
The Discovery Space shuttle.
Tosh was digging this thing. It is an SR71 Blackbird (of course).
I apologize that I do not know more about the pictures I took. I wish I was knowledgeable in this area, but I am not. Although my friend MK and I enjoyed it, I think we both enjoyed chatting about blogging and politics as much as we did the planes.
A fun place no matter what age you are!
And for those who really dig this stuff, a few more pics:
