A Must-see DC Museum

I spent several years growing up in NoVA and one of my favorite museum memories is from the National Air and Space Museum. I fondly remember eating astronaut ice cream and walking through a plane or shuttle. When I returned to live here as an adult, I stlll found the museum interesting and worthy of several visits.

The grand-daddy of them all

This is a tremendous place for young and old alike. The museum covers the entire history of aviation from the Wright Brothers through super-sonic flight. I can remember when it opened. I was a kid living in the DC 'burbs. I was in awe. And still am, whenever I go back.
