Washington DC

Haruka Max and I went to DC to hang with Kevin before he and max started school. of course we did all the tourist stuff but the real reason I made the journey to DC is for the Restoring Honor Rally 2010 (like it wasn't the first time) I never thought we lost our honor in the first place. but deep down I realized the real reason is I wanted to be winked at by Sarah Palin. Oh by the way that was a joke and i wouldn't be caught dead sipping tea out of the reflection pool. Nasty beaver fever. While Haruka and Rachel spent $20s like quarters in Georgetown. Kevin, Max and I spent the day at the Smithsonian Air & Space museum. 15 dollars for parking but free admission. Max was happier than a multi nuclear warhead on its way to deliver peace. we were able to see the SR-71 the pinnacle of aviation (hint flew from LA to London England in 3 hours 46 min and reached speeds exceeding 2,187 miles per hour). almost 3x faster than the Concord which was there too. the Space and missile section was phenomenal. The large round object is one of 5 rocket boosters used together to propel astronauts through the earths atmosphere on a mission to the moon. being in the MX career I was a little disappointed in lack of details and information posted by the airplanes. but absolutely amazing with all the stuff. pictures coming soon.
