After a little lunch at Benihana, we decided to keep the fun going. We drove north and took the kids to the Hill. I hadn’t been since I was a very young and was super impressed by the place!
They had two large rooms full of planes, missiles, uniforms, and the likes, plus a whole yard full of planes too!
The kids enjoyed meeting Cal, a cartoonist who designed the coloring pages they got to color. Max, of course, was a dream baby like always and went with the flow!
Our favorite part (and by “our” I mean me) was seeing the Blackbird. We learned that it set an East Coast to West Coast Record flying 2, 144mph, and flew the entire distance in just 1 hr, 4 min, 19.8 sec. WHAT?!!! Here’s Kate checking it out:
A few years back, I happened to meet and get a pic with Mr. Jake Garn (who flew aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery). It was nice seeing him again
We didn’t get to stay AS LONG as we would have liked. They lock the gates RIGHT AT CLOSING! And it’s serious if you’re not out. Like…supposedly the Airforce police have to let you out (after they beat you several times)…or something like that. That’s just what we were told. Anyway, fun day with the family for sure!
