Awesome Place

I spent a couple days in Washington, DC last week.  While there I attended a reception at the Udvar-Hazy Aerospace Museum in Chantilly, VA.  It's very close to Dulles Airport.  It is a companion museum to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum on the mall.  I had heard about this place but never imagined how great it is.  First of all it is huge!  It is a gigantic facility that houses thousands of  aviation artifacts including an SR-71 Blackbird, the space shuttle Discovery, the Enola Gay, a Concorde and other aviation stuff too numerous to mention.  It also has an IMAX theater and an observation tower that gives a 360 degree view of Dulles Airport and the surrounding area.  And the whole thing is just so well done!  If you're in the area and have the time (or better yet make the time) go check this place out.  You'll be glad you did!
