Washington DC Smithsonian Air & Space Museum

October 1st 2014

Today we visited the famous Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington DC and it is as good as everyone says it is. We took a guided tour so that everything was explained to us and I found it well worth while plus it is free. Having visited NASA Houston Betty found a lot of the space stuff rather boring especially since there was no decent shop.


The above is Dick Rutan's Voyager which flew around the world non stop.
