national air and space museum
while visiting my boyfriend's cousins in d.c., we spent a power day visiting three museums. jason's friend, greg, joined us as well. greg has lived in d.c. for school/work for a year now and had NEVER been to any of the museums yet! i was shocked. he joined us for all three museums. the first museum we visited was the national air and space museum.
full disclosure on this review: a spaceship my boyfriend worked on is in this museum. it is the spaceship one hanging in the entrance of the museum. we did spend a substantial amount of time looking at this plus a few other exhibits.
we loved the airplanes/spaceships in the main lobby. they seem to have every airplane on note. the spirit of st. louis, the wright brother's plane, the command module of apollo 11, columbia, and the first plane to break the sound barrier.
we went into the special exhibits about world war II aiviation, america by air, and apollo to the moon. we in particular wanted to check out the apollo exhibit since one of the apollo (15) missions had only university of michigan graduates as its astronauts. i really enjoyed the america by air exhibit, but some of the pictures were quite outdated (i.e. aerial shots of new york city with the twin towers).
this museum was crawling with school visits and was quite crowded. it was probably the busiest museum we visited last monday.
