Visit to Seattle's Museum of Flight!!!

While we were visiting Grandpa Ben and Grandma Patti in Washington, we took a trip one day to the Seattle Museum of Flight! The boys were so excited to see all of the airplanes and helicopters, and were astonished that they had them inside of a building!Grandpa, Ryan, Daddy and Austin!Seeing the old military planes outside while we waited for Grandpa to meet up with us after work!Austin found this headband and had it on his head before I could catch him!After heading inside we wandered around a looked at everything we could! Daddy and Austin with the astronaut's space suit!Ryan practiced landing a space shuttle! Rather unsuccessfully I might add, but he had fun doing it!Getting the feel of what the inside of a space shuttle is like!In the airplane and takin' it for a test drive!Over and over again we would hear, "Daddy, what kind of an airplane is that!" I love that little boys think their Daddy knows everything!After some fun in the museum, we walked across the road to the airplanes we could tour. First up, the Concorde! It was quite a hike up the stairs......and was extremely tight quarters inside! I would've been very claustrophobic riding in this jet! After the Concord, we toured the airplane of the President of the United States of America, which has since been upgraded to a larger and newer plane.
Austin, Justin, Ryan and Grandma Patti!
As we were headed back to the museum, the newest model Boeing 747 800 was taxiing the runway and Justin ran to get a picture with it! While we were leaving, Austin found this hat on one of the airplane seats that we were touring and grabbed it. Since it features some of his most recent favorite Super Heroes, we washed it and let him have it! Cutie Patootie!
