Smithsonian Trip

Yesterday we made a trip into Washington D.C. to go to the Air & Space Museum and to the Natural History Museum. I think Rich was the most thrilled with A & S, and was sad to have to move at kid pace instead of adult pace...he loves airplanes and flight, and of course has a much longer attention span than our little people. I'm not sure if Aaron even noticed the airplanes - he spent most of the time there thrilled to push his stroller around and peek under the sun shade.

I asked Luke what he liked at the Air & Space Museum, and he just said, "I liked the dinosaur bones! I haven't seen dinosaur fossils in a long time. I saw a meat eater, and a huge dinosaur, the biggest dinosaur in the world, the brontosaurus. I learned that dinosaurs lived millions and millions and millions of years ago." I asked Luke how many a million is - "It's more than a thousand."

So I think that all means that the Natural HistoryMuseum was a much higher priority to Luke! It really was amazing, and Aaron loves to see the animals too. The mammal and butterfly exhibits rated lots of shreaks.
