Seattle: part one: air museum.

For spring break, we took a quick trip up to Seattle to visit friends. We started with a trip to the Museum of Flight in south Seattle. The boys (all three of them) were very excited.
 
They thought the small model planes were really, really cool. They had no idea what else we would see.
 An astronaut.
 The CONCORDE! The boys loved getting to see a super fast airplane. We read about it often.
 The cockpit of the Concorde. Yep, we got to go inside. We also got to go inside Air Force One.
 Three happy boys.
 Walking under and around a 747 is impressive. We didn't get to go inside.
 Lucas is taking a picture of the 707 (Air Force One). He looks so small next to the huge planes.

 If you use your imagination, the four of us are reflected in this jet.


 The boys loved sitting in the cockpits of fighter planes.
 And becoming an astronaut.
 As a treat for good behavior, the boys (all three of them) got toy airplanes. Henry chose a red helicopter, Lucas a C-5 and Owen a P-38 Lightning.



Such a great time.
