Glad to see you have joined my adventure blog again. This one is about the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington DC and Chantilly, VA. A long time ago when Mike was in 6th grade he submitted an entry in a competition for National History day. We went to the University in Ellensburg, WA for competition. He presented the History of Flight. Prior to this we had spent time looking at thousands of pictures of planes, etc. and studied the history of flight. It was fun helping him put the display together. I was so proud when he got sixth place in the state. Ever after that we enjoyed going to air shows with Mike and we all got interested in the planes. So the Air and Space Museum was our priority on our visit to DC. We were glad to hear that there was a second one in Chantilly, VA.

Mike has always been interested in the spy planes. So when the first one we saw in Chantilly was the SR-71 I was so excited. Wishing he was there with us to see this awesome plane. Mike, I missed you so much at that time. So, the best thing I could do was take lots of pictures and that is what we did. We 849 pictures between the two museums. He will have to wait till we get home to see the rest, but I have a good selection here. No more words today, just lots of pictures.

Our next adventure is Lake Gaston and Gasburg, VA. Bye for now.
