Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum

The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum is my favorite museum. Over four years ago, the Smithsonian opened the Udvar Hazy Center in in Chantilly, VA which features a number of exhibits they couldn’t fit in the Air and Space Museum on the Mall. I have always wanted to go to Udvar Hazy Center, but I had never gotten around to it until Saturday when my parents were visiting my wife and me. Below are some picture of our trip to the Museum.
