AIR & SPACE SMITHSONIAN



We are standing on the porch discussing aerodynamics with my distant realtives.....The Wright Brothers!!!!!
Ali is touching a MOON ROCK!
Nick & Ali  at their first Smithsonian....Air & Space!  
Did you know that a monkey went into space?  Actually, two went up...but only one survived :(
Ali loved space when she was little, I think her exact words when she saw this was "Oh, I have always wondered what this looked like!"
Well, at least if I become an astronaut I wouldn't have to give up my Coke!
We saw rockets, Hubble space telescope, Spirit of St. Louis......




Well, we picked up Nick & Ali at the DC airport and then went straight to our Hotel, which was just a block from the Green.  Our first stop was the Air & Space Smithsonian, they had a really good exhibit on the Wright Brothers....with the actual planes that they flew with real footage!  Ali was already becoming POP-Poporitzi  :)
