No Repeats!

I know, I know, you've already seen pictures of the Air and Space Museum three or four times on my blog. But, after 4 p.m. the parking is free. So Jen and I took the kids for one last hurrah. And it was really fun! We ditched the strollers and let the kids run around like maniacs.
They had a ton of fun.
Can you guess the boys' favorite exhibit? Yep, Transformers was a hit. The Udvar-Hazy Center is the backdrop for one scene. The SR-71 Blackbird (which you can't miss) is a Decepticon (that means he's on the bad guys' team). A flat screen TV shows a clip of the plane turning into a transformer. The boys would have stood there and watched it till their eyes fell out of their heads. The "shark" plane was another favorite.
Strangely, the Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom for our second visit to the Museum. Just another good reason that we went!

BEAUTIFUL!

What should you do when you're in the Air Traffic Control tower? Act like a plane of course. Jen and I sat on the floor and watched our kids fly around for a few minutes. They were so happy!


Sorry...she's just so cute.


Her face is hysterical.

Don't worry we didn't leave Gavin out. He and I probably had to pause to have a good heart-to-heart about appropriate behavior in the museum.

WOW, the blossoms are just beautiful, the children are adorable, what a great memory for all of you. These pictures will keep the memory in the forefront for even Laynie to remember. I am sure the repeat visits will be an added imprintment of all the great places you visit. Actually, I bet Gavin could give a great tour with details explaining everything. What a great family you are. What a beautiful place you live at...so many important things to see. I can only imagine what your Grandpa Walt would be saying if he were here. Guaranteed, you would have us visit. He loved it back there. He would get the biggest kick out of the kids and renewing his memories of his mission back in the Eastern States. He would be so proud of your sweet family. Thanks for sharing. Love you.
