Cold and rainy outside, it was a good day for a trip to the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center. One of the best things is its not located in DC like the rest of the museums and is only aout a 15 - 20 minute drive from the house. We've come here at least three or four times over the years, but this was Khai's first visit. The museum is a huge hangar with three levels filled with planes, engines, helicopters, rockets, satellites, and the space shuttle Enterprise, just to name a few things. And, what we always come to see, the SR-71. Johns favorite. Although Khai was a bit apprehensive walking on the skywalks at first, he and Carter enjoyed themselves. We brought Carter a few years ago, so it was also interesting to bring him in at a different age, different perspective...
The end of the day we all piled into the gift shop as usual to buy something overpriced. Carter opted for some moon goop. Khai picked a Transformer. Speaking of which, they had a Transformers display there - scenes from Revenge of the Fallen were shot there - and the display included things like Jetfire prototypes, Starscream design plans, Wheelie's vehicle mode, and Sector 7 memorabilia.
Our All American Family Outing concluded with none else but museum McDonalds. Completely overpriced and terrible tasting....but the kiddies loved it. I think they charged double the price for a burger, skimped us on the ice, but at least they had yummy, warm cinnamon buns!

Looks like so much fun! Nice that's it's not a far drive either. I love the pics... looks like the boys had a good time. Hehe I love the one of Khai and Carter on the bench, Khai's all smiles and Carter has this bored look on his face lol and I think he may have been giving the peace sign? Too cute. Gotta love overpriced MacDonald's! Nom nom nom!
