Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center





Today we went to the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center, which is the Air and Space Museum annex in Chantilly, VA. Grandad came along with us for Family Day at the museum. For Family Day, the museum has pilots fly their airplanes in for everyone to admire and look at. Its both private and military planes that fly in. There was also a fire truck, ambulance, and hot air balloon there as well. Sarah got a free fireman's hat to wear. Sarah really enjoyed going into the C-17 transport plane, and the KC-135 refueling tanker. After we saw the planes, we went and saw the space shuttle. They have the space shuttle, Enterprise on display. On the TV screens, they showed the Space Shuttle Endeavor, which was returning from space live. We got to see it land, which was really neat. After we had a great time at the museum, we all went out to lunch at Texas Roadhouse. Tutu Gail met us at the restaurant for lunch. We all had a great time.
