Another week has gone by. I am thinking today (Thursday), oh, it's only Wednesday, plenty of time for our next fun-filled location! Whoa, where does that time go?! So without further ado, we are traveling to Washington D.C.'s Udvar-Hazy Center this weekend. This is part of the National Aerospace Museum located in Sterling, VA right next to Dulles Airport.
You will need at least half a day to take in all the sights. The Boeing Hangar has a huge collection of planes from the oldest to some of the very latest aircraft. I'm talking from gliding to one of the Space Shuttles, the Enterprise (actually in a hangar of its own!) Parking is $15 per car, but admission is free! This really is a bargain for all the displays and activities that you can participate in. For those of you who live really close, parking is free after 4pm. This really rocks for their extended hours during the summer months.
One of my favorites was going in to a mock control tower that overlooks the runways of Dulles Int'l Airport, and you see how operations are run at an ATC (Air Traffic Control) Tower at many of the airports of the world. Be sure to check into it today if you are in the Washington, D.C. area! Get out and enjoy history at its' finest!
How about you, big plans for the weekend? What are your favorite things to do on the weekend? Father's Day is one weekend away!! Big plans for that? Let me hear from you!
