Washington DC Trip - Day 4

Here's what we did on day 4 of our Washington D.C. trip.

THE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM
We showed up right as the museum was about to open.


There were lots of cool things to see an play with.





We found this guy.  Col. Paul Henderson.  Who was apparently an aviation pioneer.  We'll have to figure out if we're related.





They had a paper airplane making contest.  Afterward, they all did a test flight for their airplanes.  Tommy ended up winning a book on the history of Boeing planes for taking first place.


My favorite was probably the big model aircraft carrier.
It was almost 10 feet long.


 After lunch, we walked back past the capitol building.




Then we saw some cool stuff at the art museum.
