This is where we went yesterday. If you are into planes, it would be worth it. However, for 4 children, age 7 and under, it was almost not worth the hour+ drive and the $12 parking. I had hoped for something interactive or hands on, but alas, there was not.
There were some amazing displays and cool miniatures to look at. There were 500 different kinds of flying things there and there was a lot of super-cool stuff. I'm talking, they had the actual planes, helicoptors, experimental craft and space shuttle there! There was a commercial airliner, an actual space shuttle (Enterprise), military air craft, and lots of other neat things.
See Marian, she cried for half of the trip. She was not impressed or interested in looking at things. See Callie, she's grumpy too. She was hiding and complaining. Of course, they were hungry. It was a long drive and it was lunch time and the McDonald's there has a good 50% mark up. This is just so you know when you decide to go!
It was a cool place. It really was. Unfortunately, I was distracted by children who are not as cultured and refined as myself and that means I did not get to look at all the stuff I would have liked to. Next time I will go alone!
Oh, and it was Dan's birthday this week. He's catching up to me! Its part of the 8 months where he is only a year younger than me!
I made him Jello Poke Cake, like he always requests and it was darn tasty! 2 days later there is none left. Sigh.

You'll have to go to the one in DC next time, their is a little more the kids can explore, not much but a cockpit and stuff like that.
Tell Dan happy birthday. Even if it wasn't that great you did get some cute pictures. Mariam Rocks
