Straighten Up and Fly Right

The weather was rotten Saturday morning. So we headed off to the Udvar-Hazy Center (the National Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport). We had the good and bad fortune to show up on "family day" (lots of extra activities for the kids including a cool little runway -- and lots of extra people). But yes indeedy, nothing so grand as a masssssssive hanger full of planes (and when I say massive...I mean the place houses the space shuttle Enterprise, it's that big).

Enterprise is always my favorite stop (huge Star Trek fan that I am), and it turned out to be Harry's too. He is still talking about the "shuttle to the moon." How awesome and terrifying it must be to have a child grow up to become an astronaut.

When Harry was a but a wee baby we took a tour of a Russian sub -- he got fed a bottle right inside. So I thought it fitting that on this trip Charlotte get a feeding in front of an antiballistic missle. Photo to come.
