Memorial Day

For the first half of the three-day weekend, we cleaned the house and fought with DISH network, but on Monday, we headed down to Seattle to The Museum of Flight http://www.museumofflight.org/  It was amazing!  There was a Memorial Day ceremony inside the museum complete with The Boeing Employees Concert Band and a few Tuskegee Airmen veterans.  There were so many planes - both Chad and I didn't realize how big the museum actually was.

There was a Kiddie Space Land which Emilie and Maddie both enjoyed.






That's right - they're dressed alike.









But good luck getting a photo of them together!

 



There was too much to see and do.




Finally - almost a sister-moment. . .too bad that little menace in the background didn't appreciate it!

 Maddie got to sit in some pretty cool planes:

Chad and Maddie had a 4D experience in a flight simulator, and then Maddie took a little jaunt into space.

We all boarded the Concorde for a quick trip accross 'The Pond':


The Concorde was super narrow inside; there were 2 rows of seats on each side of the aisle.  It looks deceptively large from the outside.

 And came home on Air Force One:

It was a super fun day and I hope to eventually visit again -
