Air and Space Museum

Our next adventure was to the Air and Space Museum in D.C.  This was a pretty cool place.  Just looking at all the real rockets, airplanes and satellites is pretty amazing.  In addition to that they had a whole bunch of children's experiments teaching you about everything from wind flow to far off galaxies.

Again it was super crowded and I can't wait to come back during the slow season to spend more time looking at everything.  We only made it through about 3/4 of the museum before the kids were more than spent and we headed home.  I love being able to visit the museums as we please.  Knowing we can come back any time to see the last 1/4 of the Air and Space makes it a lot less frustrating and I don't have to go into crazy mommy mode pushing the kids through the whole thing in one shot.

Kaden was really excited for this adventure.  In case you didn't know, for the last couple of years Kaden's career ambition has been to be an astronaut and a guy who talks on the radio.  Coming in a close second is to be a janitor.  The poor kid hasn't realized cleaning the bathroom isn't fun yet!

Savannah was a pretty popular exhibit at the Museum as well.  Chinese people really like her!  We even had  two ladies stop us to look and take pictures of her while she was sleeping.  They kept trying to ask us questions, but since they only spoke Chinese and we don't it didn't go far.  I'm not sure how they expected that conversation to work.  I mentioned it to Kimball's brother Alvin who served his mission in Hong Kong and he said its probably because of her curly hair.  They don't see that much and she certainly has a lot of it.  

Finally we have our latest family portrait.  This is us in front of the thermal-something-or-other camera.  I remember us all being on the screen together, but looking at it now I can't find Kimball.  He must be a cold blooded vampire or something that doesn't show up on thermal pictures.  

I had to put one solitary photo of Savannah not looking like a frizzy haired grumpy baby.  Its been brought to my attention that's what they mostly have been (Monica).  Now you have proof.  Sometimes, on very rare occasions, my child does not look like a crazed ragmuffin, but rather the sweet beauty she is!
