Another Town, Another Museum

If you ask James, on any given Saturday, "James, what do you want to do today?" He will, without a doubt, pause dramatically and then say, "How about a museum?" I think we may have set him up for endless museum-going during our 2 year DC tour (FILLED with FREE museums).

So, we checked out the Virginia Air & Space Center and became members on our way out. We have since (it's January now) been back no less than 10 times and James did a two-day science camp after Christmas.

We love museums.

This particular museum has an actual-size Air Tran airplane in the middle of the 2nd floor. The kids love flying the plane, from the real cockpit and serving us snacks and demanding that we put our seat belts on. It's been more than once, that we have sat there with seatbelts on, feeling like we can't get up for fear of reproach from the flight attendants/pilots, when James & Molly have up and left the "exhibit" when they were done.

Seriously, how about a little "the plane has landed, feel free to move about the cabin?"

And then, lunch at the marina where we discussed how badly James needed a haircut.
