One my parents' last day in town, we took a trip to the College Park Aviation Museum. Just outside of D.C., it's located on the grounds of the world's oldest continuously operating airport.
The girls watching Wilbur Wright work in his shop. He was one of those animatronic things, like Abraham Lincoln at Disneyland. Entrancing and creepy, all at the same time.
Watch out! Amalia has taken the controls.
Cranking the propellor.
The Red Baron.
Andy, apparently showing the girls how to make crash landings.
The museum is great for kids. Here, Amalia is assembling a plane out of wooden parts.
In the cockpit.
More crashes on the flight simulator.
Lily writing a story on the "Wright a Story" computer terminal. She actually wrote two. The first one ended (predictably) with the plane crashing into a building. In the second one, the people "get too old to fly a plane, so they die." My parents didn't really appreciate that one.
