Spring Break - Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum

The next day of spring break, we decided to head to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum as we didn't want to drive back into the city. It was amazing!

Grandma met us for the morning since this museum is out her direction. They had an SR-71 Blackbird...

We saw a Concorde...

And we saw the Enola Gay...

We found an F-4 - the type of plane my Opa (World's Greatest Fighter Pilot) flew near the end of his time in the Vietnam War.

We got to go up into their control tower to watch planes take off and land at Dulles.

Ben got to see Dusty Crophopper from Disney's Planes.

And Jane got to see Plane Jane:

Then we headed into their space section, which was amazing! They had the Discovery right in the center of the hangar. They also had several of the Apollo and Gemini pods, space suits and food, and other satellite and communication equipment.

This one was a very cool museum!
