And we're walking....





Maryann was headed back to Australia, and flying out of Dulles. So naturally we took the opportunity to introduce Amity to the Udvar-Hazy extension? addition? to the Air and Space Museum. It's all one big happy Smithsonian family, who keeps track of the distinctions, anyway?

Here we see Zara and Amity, and then just Zara, camped in front of the SR-71 Blackbird. Man, that thing is cool. The other two pictures show the kids, of course, and the space shuttle prototype Enterprise. It never flew in orbit but they did a bunch of test runs with it. I believe they'll be getting one of the actual shuttles soon and passing the big E on over to another museum... stay tuned!
