ASSI – The weather man forecasted rain all day for Saturday. The idea of entertaining two boys all day in the house concerned me. They enjoy roller skating so I went on-line to locate the nearest skating rink, and the Seabrook Roller Skating Rink has 10 a.m. to Noon, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. It was shortly after ten, so I decided that we would go to the Air and Space Museum to see the planes, planets, and the rocket ships first. Big mistake, going skating was the only thing on their minds; therefore, they were disinterested in the museum.
We managed to see all the exhibits more than once, somehow I dropped my camera case and attempted to back track to locate it, but with three memory cards: 250 GB, 2GB, and 32 GB it was a welcomed gift for someone without extra memory cards. Each exhibit is well done and takes you back to the historical moment when a particular aircraft was created and its mission. The Wright Brothers, Exploring the Planets, Apollo to the Moon, America by View, Explore the Universe, and World Wars Aviation are just a few of the number of exhibits that I personally enjoyed. There are 28 exhibits available and the Air and Space Museum is free. The flight simulators were of interest but all exhibits that cost were avoided. There are only three exhibits that actually cost: the Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin IMAX Theater, and Einstein Planetarium.
The Air and Space Museum is a great place for a family or couple outing, you can bring your own snacks, or grab something to eat at the Wright Place Food Court. I am looking forward to a return trip without the boys. As I see it there is no other place in the world that provides detailed, insightful information with replicas, and actual aircrafts like the Air and Space Museum for free; therefore, if and when you visit Washington DC be sure to add the Air and Space Museum to your list of things to do. I give the Air and Space Museum 5 blinks.
