The Thrill of Flight...

Mesmerized.

For 10 minutes...at least, the two of them stared out the window of the observation tower at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum.

It's right next to Dulles airport and you watch planes land from all over the world. Made me a bit nostalgic for my travelling days, but excited to see how well the kids responded.

Inside, there's a cornucopia of planes...the Concorde, Space Shuttle, military planes of all types. It's a huge hangar and plenty of room to run around (and tire out) for kids.

The only shortcoming, which Tungsten pointed out, was that there were no planes for them to climb on or go in. That was a downer and would have made it a top-notch experience.

I had never been there so for me, it was fresh. All in all a good time though.
