planes, trains and space ships (DC/Balto summer vacation 2012)
#2 son had been excited about our summer vacation. he knew we'd be flying and it would be his first flight.
and they were excited to ride the train, or METRO
#1 son quickly felt at home commuting to dc on the metro every day.
he fit right in with the locals.
the daughter even got yelled at on the metro, "DON'T STAND BY THE DOOR! MOVE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAIN!" she did the right thing, just ignored the guy.
as soon as #2 son learned proper DC METRO etiquitte (stand to the right and climb on the left) he was all about climbing the escalators on the left side.
#2 son soon refused to sit on the METRO, he sort of pole danced. I was sure he was going to fall and crack his head... but he didn't.
trains and planes at the smithsonian american history museum.
that is the plane the wright brothers had the very first flight with. they even have one of the wright bros bicycles and an original first flight prop on exhibit at the national air and space museum.
airforce barbershop quartet sort of event in the air and space museum.
