Nearly there....
Well, we finally got to go on Edward's "birthday adventure," which was delayed due to the snowy/icy week of his actual birthday.
He asked this year if he could go to the Air & Space Museum Annex, out near the Dulles Airport.
All I can say is: WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!
To say that we were impressed doesn't even begin to touch our emotions as we walked in and saw lots of bombers, a Blackbird, and just beyond it the Enterprise, an actual space shuttle!
Growing up in the '80s, we were very fond on these space crafts. They're from our era and offer something fondly familiar. I couldn't get a full photo of it, but I can tell you it was awesome!

We wandered through the hangar, viewing all the favorites and observing some aircraft we'd never heard of.
Then we went to the IMAX theater and watched Fighter Pilot, about a pilot during Operation Red Flag, a week-long international training mission.
All in all, it was well-worth the 3-hour trip and $12 parking fee (the museum itself is free).
Edward was "flying high" all the way home -- as were we!

I love that place! The last time we were there we had the chance to meet 5 Tuskegee Airman and get our picture taken with them as well as have them sign autographs for ds! It was a great privilege!
I am glad you had so much fun and glad Edward got his birthday wish!
That is SOOO cool, Angel!! Esp. for your ds!! It was such a great place! We can't wait to take him to the main one in D.C. :o)
