The National Air and Space Museum

Joe, one of his roommates and I visited the National Air and Space Museum yesterday. The museum is actually split into two facilities: one downtown (on the National Mall, in DC) and a bigger one in Chantilly, close to Dulles International Airport. We went to the second one.

The museum essentially exposes WWI and WWII planes, civil aircrafts as well as some space ships and items.

Well, it was actually a nice place. Too bad you didn't publish any pictures of the Space Shuttle.
