Field Trip Friday : Air and Space Museum

My husband took the kids to the National Air and Space Museum/Udvar-Hazy Center while I went to the gym, grocery shopped, and cleaned the house all by myself. To many, it may seem that I got the short end of the stick here. Ah, but those last three words... I needed those three words today. : )

The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington Dulles International Airport is the companion facility to the Museum on the National Mall. The building opened in December, 2003, and provides enough space for the Smithsonian to display the thousands of aviation and space artifacts that cannot be exhibited on the National Mall. The two sites together showcase the largest collection of aviation and space artifacts in the world.

this place is pretty amazing... everything is so big.
