Family Vacation Day 6

Friday morning we drove to The National Air and Space Museum.
A statue in the parking lot.
The hanger holds 163 aircraft and over 150 space artifacts.
Hilllary, Grady and Geno take a peak from the overlook above the hanger.
Looking down the length of the hanger.

From Old to New Planes
Lockhead SR-71 Blackbird
Junior Pilot Lobenstein is reporting for flight duty.
Fighter Pilot Grady home from a mission.
For lunch we went to Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington. At the next table was little boy who was born 1 hour after Grady.
The Japanese American Memorial in Downtown D.C.
Geno also helped work on this project.

After the downtown post lunch stop we headed to Geno's college.
The National Basilica of the Immaculate Conception adjacent to the Catholic University Campus.
The inside was amazing.
A rainbow over our Nation's Capitol on the way to the Brewers vs Nats.
The Nationals Ballpark. You can see the Capitol down the street on the left.
Our seats for the game. We had the buffet tickets.
Now batting Prince Fielder
Runner on first, here is the pitch.
A swing and a drive, get up, get up, get outta here...
...gone a Home Run for the Prince!
Braun and Prince with a little celebration.
The Nats version of the Sausage Race. George Washington wins.
The clouds darkened and rain was on the way.
A view from the top of the stadium.
From up top you can see the capitol down the 3rd base line.
Here comes the rain.
Out comes the tarp.
The game resumed and the Brewers would get the win 7-3.
On the way home we stopped on the mall to get some night pictures of the monuments.
