Weekend in DC

This weekend was the boys 3rd annual Wizards basketball weekend in DC. Last year Norah and I tagged along and this year we brought Ant Ant with us. We spent Friday night at Ant Ants and then drove up Saturday morning.

We really didn't have any plans except that the game was at 7pm Saturday night. We figured we would head down into the city and walk the mall and see whatever museums the kids were up for. We were looking up museums we wanted to see on the way up and remembered about the Air and Space museum in Dulles. I've been wanting to see the space shuttle forever. Joel is doing a project on John Glenn so I knew he would enjoying seeing things he's learning about in person. So we headed there first before heading into DC.

This was her face almost the whole time. She was so amazed.

I was excited about finally seeing it in person.

Colin didn't believe it was the real thing. He thought it was a replica that had just been all glued together. Grandpa had more credibility than we did since he worked for NASA and if Grandpa said it was real then Colin finally believed it.

It really is incredible to see in person.

They kept saying how much Isaiah and Gideon would love this museum.

Colin was the one that pointed out that the plane below was the one that dropped the first atomic bomb. I don't think he had read the sign yet - his wealth of information is like his uncle and grandpa.

And it worked out perfectly that we went to that museum first because Jeff was picking up his puppy exactly 11 minutes away. So we left the museum to go get food and meet sweet Addie. The only dog so far that makes me want to have a dog. Glad we can go visit her anytime! Brent tried to joke with Norah that Jeff got her a puppy for her birthday. Good thing she was too busy playing with Addie to hear or she would be very disappointed.
