Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Wednesday March 24, 2010

This photo gallery is dedicated to Uncle Ed who loves the Apollo missions. A trip to DC to see it to together some day is in order!


Amelia meets Amelia, finally! Whoo Hoo!

















The space race is on. We watched a video about all of the missions that led up to the lunar landing and so lots of cool artifacts.











The Apollo 11 Command Module -- the real deal. It was awesome looking at the tiles underneath that were burned during re-entry.














Apollo Command Module.













Buzz Aldrin's Space Suite. Neil's was on a break.
















Lunar Module














Amelia with Amelia's plane. Didn't see Amy Adams anywhere near this exhibit. . . .













The Wright Bros. Planes. Turns out it took a long time to establish that the Wright Bros. were the original inventors of of the Aeroplane - the first free, controlled, sustained flight.
