Saturday found us asleep again and dragging the kids out of bed at 9am. We did finally get them moving to find a beautiful, sunny, clear, but chilly day!
First stop was 2 Sisters Deli.
We passed this yesterday and thought it might be a good breakfast place and it didn't disappoint!
I went for lunch with this amazingly good club.
Chris and Ladybug went for breakfast with this amazing bacon, egg and cheese biscuit.
I think we might be back tomorrow as well!
Next is the National Air and Space Museum. This is the sister location to the one we went to the other day.
Rutan Voyager
Rutan Voyager. Completed the first nonstop, non-refueled flight around the world. 72% of its weight was fuel and it was so heavy during takeoff that the wing was damaged by the ground during takeoff.
Kids doing their shopping.
Lunar Module that landed on the moon.
A huge interactive screen
Spirit of St. Louis
Satellite
About the Satellite
The model of the Star Trek Starship. So this was the actual thing they filmed when showing pictures of the outside of the ship during the episodes.
They had lots of hands on areas. This area was like a kids museum where they had all types of experiments you could try. We had not been to one of these in a few years since the kids were younger but all three of my big kids spend over an hour in here testing all the stations and waiting in line and dodging toddlers. But it was so fun to watch how they have both learned so much science they understand why the experiments were there and what they were testing. The ones they didn't understand, daddy taught them what they were.
The Wright Brothers plane
A picture of one of the entrances. They have 4 security stations set up and another 4 on the other side. There was a line outside on both sides all day long for people waiting to get in. It was really busy.
Another of the Lunar Module from above.
A neat scale model of the planets.
We rented headphones that had information about 22 items so that we could listen to it as we walked through and we all really enjoyed that. There were so many exhibits and pieces of information to see and read. I feel like we got all the highlights plus some but you really could have spent hours in each exhibit learning about the history of each section. Overall I feel like we were successful in getting the most we could from this stop.
Next...learning the metro, and exploring the mall area.
