Smithsonian National Air And Space Museum!

Six years ago we explored and saw all the vintage airplanes at the air and space museum near D.C. with Noah and it was a different experience for him this time around than when he was six. Noah took his time reading all the history on the displays with his dad. It was as if Jon was giving him a history lesson all about aircraft. It was so nice to watch these two bonding about airplanes. Talking about the transformers scene as well as the Roblox plane Noah has seen in a game online. He got so excited when he stumbled upon it inside the center. We only had about an hour inside the hangar and even though this was our second time going there is going to be a third. We didn't get to go to the tower or imax theatre. Another excuse to go back. 

We can never get enough of this place and it is such a gem for the boys that I made this little reel for them to remember. So happy that Noah has a much better appreciation for this place and I am so glad that Jon took a day off to spend with us and to really engage with Noah all about planes! Oh...and to eat at Willards too! Now for some still pictures of vintage airplanes...

Willard's BBQ is a tradition when we come to Virginia and it's only about a ten minute drive from the air and space museum!  

And jubilee ice cream is a great choice! The only thing that makes sense when it's 100 degrees outside!
