Alex favorite things of the day were the Fighter Pilots movie and the riding in the simulator. Jesikah liked the Fighter Pilots movie and the "How Things Fly" exhibit. That exhibit was especially for kids and had all kinds of gadgets and things that showed how things can fly. We were able to attend a workshop for kids on flight. Tessa got chosen to be part of the demonstration. She had to hold a piece of paper above her lips and blow and then below her lips and blow. She had to guess which way the paper would go. She was surprised that when the paper was below her lips, it went up when she blew instead of down. Tessa's best thing was participating in the demonstration but then her worst thing was then dropping the paper from the demonstration off a balcony(thinking she could catch it) and watching it fall and another child pick it up. So sad, but afterall, she was being careless if you ask me.
Jarem stayed up too late the night before, and he didn't want to get up Friday morning.

That guy in the space suit is kinda scary i think! I love the picture of your kids with their 3-d glasses on, that's so classic. Jarem looks so thrilled in the front :) Looks like another fun day!
You guys sure did a lot on your trip to DC...you'll have to give us some secrets for things to do & see when we go hopefully next year. I like that sculpture at the front of the museum. What was it?
