During our Washington visit, our last stop was the Air and Space Museum. We hadn't been to that one for a long time, since we always went there as kids. Since it was our last stop, we were all pretty tired after walking straight from the Washington Monument. I had read that the Enterprise was back on display, and wanted CJ to see it, but when we got there, we couldn't find it anywhere! I had to do some serious looking...and had to ask 3 people... but finally found it--in the basement of the gift shop!! Anyway, the reaction from CJ when he first laid eyes on it made it all worth it. When he saw it, he stopped in his tracks and said, "Whoa!" It was really neat! For those of you old timers like us, if you remember, The Enterprise used to hang from the ceiling, but now they have it in this display case. It looks SO much bigger this way! It was really funny, though...I had to disappoint CJ because I told him that when he spent his money at the gift shop, he couldn't buy any space shuttle stuff! I told everyone else that I did NOT drive a thousand miles so he could buy a space monkey that we could get at home! :) But CJ made a wise choice, and got a pilot's hat to enjoy instead!
