Boys, Skies & Space
What is it about men with planes and going to the moon?
It’s been rainy days in Washington and we decided to spend our first full day in Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum. My initial plan was to take it easy, spend 2-3 hours in the museum and then to come back to the hotel and the laundry done before dinner with Paula.
What was NOT in the plan was how excited the guys were with the museum. The minute they stepped in, they became like little boys. They wonder in awe of the place and after 3 hours, we only managed to cover 3/4 of the lower ground floor. I was secretly hoping they’d wanna give up and go home, but they insisted that they want to see the top floor too.
So what a girl gotta do? Well, I decided to go back first and let the boys continue their exploration in the museum. And guess what, they didn’t come back until 5.30pm, ie. they spent almost 5 hours in the museum, and they cheekily told me that they didn’t finish seeing everything – “there are beautiful planes upstairs that we didn’t get to see!” – and they want to go back the next day (sheesh!) …
Guess in every man, there’s still that little boy who wants to see the moon or fly a plane 😉
