This museum always leaves me in complete wonder through the whole experience. There are so many things there that I can't even believe I'm seeing! I'm not quite sure the boys quite understand the importance of all of the things they are seeing, but they will one day.
The be fair, we had seen a lot of museums, so the boys were a little ready to run around, but they did a pretty good job.
I love all of the hands on science things they do.
And trust my boys to find a "video game."
These astronaut suits still had moon dust on them!
I am reading The Wright Brothers by David McCullough right now and it is so fascinating. I was especially interested in this exhibit. I'm also daying to do see their home and Kitty Hawk where they flew for the first time (maybe fall break...).
This is the glider the Wright Bros first used. The wood is all original.
This is the origianl fabric! I was in awe the whole time.
We tried to separate from my parents on this adventure so they didn't feel rushed since our family doesn't have as long of an attention span. We just looked over a railing and look who we saw?
I'm pretty sure this wasn't supposed to be played on...
Enormous!
I am a sucker for hot air balloons, especially when they look like this old fashioned number.
We stumbled on Amelia Earhart's plane that she flew over the Atlantic Ocean and then across the United States setting two records. I don't think I ever realized she was only the second person to ever fly across the Atlantic (Charles Lindburgh was the first).
This was also awesome, The Spirit of St. Louis, the first plane to fly across the ocean (flown by Charles Lindburgh). There is so much history in this museum!
This was a really cool panel where you could moved the icons around and then read about different things. Even though we had been before (this was my 4th time), we discovered so many new things!
