One for the Road...leaving DC

Our flight leaves at 5:15pm, so we had several hours to kill. Thus, we went to the National Air and Space Museum (Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center) near Dulles Airport, an extention of the Smithsonian museum that is in the heart of DC (National Mall Building).





This museum is far more impressive, in terms of artifacts, than the one in the National Mall Building. A full size Space Shuttle Enterprise and the actual Elona Gay is housed here.

The Elona Gay

There really isn't a whole lot to say, as this museum is mainly a showroom. There really isn't too many exhibit or interactive shows like the National Mall Building.

When we left the museum, we went off to Quiznos to get a sandwich to get on the plane, since food service is an extra charge. We asked the person at Quiznos to put our sauce/spread on the side. As we left, we realized that we probably could not get these sauce past security. Surely enough, the security guard at the airport checkpoint made us throw them away.

BTW, I flew Virgin America....and this airline is the best among domestic flights!!
