Lockheed Martin Blackbird (ft in the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen)


We went to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum near the Dulles Airport.  We went up to the Observation Tower and were able to view what seemed like all of Virginia and beyond.  Planes flew by almost every 20 minutes.  Since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had scenes filmed at the museum, they had a lot of Transformers references throughout the museum.  We even saw the Lockheed Martin Blackbird which played the character of Jetfire.  The planes were so interesting and the Space Shuttle was so large.  My mother years and years ago was driving down Interstate 66 in the middle of traffic when she looked up and saw a plane and the shuttle.  She was watching it and wondering why the shuttle was on top of the plane and was not separating from it.  When she arrived home, she had learned that it was the Space Shuttle Enterprise which had been retired.  Today, we were able to see it up close and in person.

The Lincoln Memorial (Washington DC)


This was our big trip day.  Early morning we took the Metro from Vienna Station to the Smithsonian Station in Washington DC.  As we got out of the station it began to rain, and across the street was a Farmers Market.  While my family ducked and covered, I stood out in the rain in a line waiting to get my favorite treat: Kettle Corn!  I paid $12 for a bucket of Kettle Corn, but the bucket is reusable and if I bring it back to any of the company's Kettle Corn stations I can get a refill for $6.  After that we hopped onto the TourMobile and rode around to see the monuments.  The point of the trip was for the Twins to get a general idea of Washington DC.  They didn't need to see every single museum and every single monument, but to get a general overview.  So we rode around seeing the different Smithsonian Museums and decided to stop at Union Station to eat lunch and get some small souvenirs for the twins.  My mom and I realized that Union Station was like a mall with a lot of stores.  We have made plans to just ride the metro over one day and walk around and shop.  After lunch at Uno's we hopped back on the Tourmobile and saw different Memorials including the Washington and Jefferson, and decided to hop off at the Lincoln Memorial.  The boys enjoyed seeing Lincoln, as they had remembered which president that was and could place him to the movie Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.  We also walked over to the Korean War Memorial, before hopping back on to the Tourmobile, in order to see the museum the boys really wanted to see: The Natural History Museum.  We went to see the dinosaurs, the ocean life, the animals, insects, and of course the Hope Diamond.  After that we went back on the metro and headed home, and watched the movie all of us had been waiting for: Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie
