Our trip is almost over and we have seen a lot of things, Today we are going to take a trial run to the airport to help us make our departure tomorrow a smooth one.
While we are at the airport we are going to visit the new annex of the Air and Space Museum.
The trip to the airport went pretty smoothly and we found the car-rental return easily. It looks like it will take us about an hour to drive from the house to the airport.
The Air and Space Museum annex at Dulles Airport is wonderful. They have a whole blimp-hangar sized space with lots of aircraft from the first and second world wars, Huey helicopters, jets, MIGS and all kinds of aircraft. They had to expand the collection to this additional site because there was just so much stuff to display in the building on the Capitol Mall.
We took a guided tour and it was great. A docent told us a lot of interesting stories about the aircraft.
We saw the Enola Gay, which was the airplane used to drop the first atom bomb on Japan.
We ended up spending four hours there and it was so interesting.
On our way back home we drove past the beautiful Jefferson Memorial. They were doing construction around it so we couldn't walk around it. the construction is for the new Martin Luther King memorial. Then we went home and began to get ready for our departure tomorrow morning. We can't believe our trip is almost over.
