We spent this morning at the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum at Dulles and had the place completely to ourselves. It was so empty that even the museum guards were commenting on how unusual it was. Roman and Harper loved every second of it and took off running as soon as we got there, only pausing for a quick lunch of PB&J and yogurt. I think this was the first time Roman has been there since he started walking (actually, he took his very first steps there last summer), and it was SO much easier to just let the two of them run around and look at the planes independently.

Roman could not have been more excited about the airplanes, or “OHHHHHH!” as he called them. Literally, he would point at every single plane as we got to it and excitedly shout “OHHHHH!” as loud as he could. It was very cute! Harper was a running commentary with things like “see, Buddy? Dis one is all done fwying, but doze airpwanes are still fwying up dare,” and “Mommy you and woah-man go over dare while I do some somersaults, okay?” We had a great morning and both of the kids were asleep within 5 minutes of walking in the door. Harper actually said “can you just put me in my bed? I don’t need a story today.” That’s what I call a successful trip!

That little blur in the middle is Roman running as fast as he can towards the Blackbird.
