We're lucky to live pretty close to the Dulles annex of the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. We take the twins there every so often, because they find it interesting, there's a lot of room to move around in, and it has a McDonald's. What more could you ask for?
The Missus and I like it because it keeps the twins entertained for a little while, and we can get some exercise as we walk around.
The kids are suitably impressed when I tell them that this plane or that was built by the company I work for. They are less impressed when I confess that, no, Daddy doesn't actually build airplanes.
It's even better now that they aren't afraid of the "shark airplane," the Flying Tigers P-40 that greets visitors to the museum. They both used to cry when they saw that. Now, they assure me, "It's just paint, Daddy!"
It's just paint.
