what is a good museum to go to in DC, and will they have astronaut ice cream in the gift shop? 9/22/2008 11:55:15 PM |
theDuke866 All American 52894 Posts user info edit post |
the Air & Space Museum will, and it rocks
the rest of the Smithsonian is cool, too, although I would guess you've prob been there before 9/22/2008 11:56:40 PM |

when I was a kid we went to some museum ... I don't remember which one maybe history? I've only been to DC maybe 3 times 9/23/2008 12:02:35 AM |

i've never been to any of the Museums.
the two times i've been to DC have been on Navy business. I only got to see the Capitol. which kicked ass. a fellow mid had worked on McCain's staff, so I got a tour of the Senate Offices, and stood in the old man's office. It was eye-opening. Definitely an Arizona theme. 9/23/2008 12:36:08 AM |

I did Air & Space with a buddy of mine who's an AF pilot last summer. We're both aviation nuts but felt overwhelmed after seeing maybe 1/3rd of the place.
Plan on going more than one day if you want to take it all in. 9/23/2008 12:56:33 AM |

yea, how many hundreds of thousand square feet is it? 9/23/2008 10:31:24 AM |
Mr. Joshua Swimfanfan 43948 Posts user info edit post |
No clue. If you want to see some awesome planes you also need to check out the Air & Space annex at Dulles airport. They basically have a huge hangar full of historic aircraft like the Enola Gay. 9/23/2008 12:50:11 PM |

I was in a waiting room reading a Time magazine with an editorial by Carter's boy Zbigniew Brzezinski on Russia's recent nut flexing.
He said that the best option would be to threaten to boycott their olympics in 2014.
