It was pretty neat to get up close and personal with some of the planes I grew up learning about. There was an SR-71 Blackbird, a Concorde, the Enola Gay, and a space shuttle. You could get up close and personal with some of them, but no touching. Too bad!

the planes, the planes!

Rainy Sunday. Perfect for heading out to a museum. We've been waiting for years to go to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. It's the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum with a lot more space. Located out by Dulles International Airport, we'd postponed going there for years. We were saving it for a visit from my uncle. He would have really enjoyed it. We miss you, Bob.
