Air & Space Museum

We have already had the opportunity to see quite a few places here in DC! Part of our program allows us to take study tours on Friday afternoons to a variety of different places around the city. This past week, we had the opportunity to visit the Air & Space Museum and Voice of America. Visiting the Air & Space Museum was very interesting and educational. We had a great tour guide who catered our tour to Ohioans that played an important role in air and space. We saw many pieces of history, including the original artifacts from the Wright Brothers. We also saw Friendship 7, the mission that John Glenn was part of. Our guide also shared many stories about John Glenn as well as Neil Armstrong. We also had the opportunity to talk about more current day space shuttles, such as Discovery and Challenger. We also learned some interesting facts about things that NASA created for us that we used quite often. You'd be surprised! The National Air & Space Museum is a must see when you visit DC!
