While the service wasn't scheduled until Monday, most of the family arrived Saturday evening. Frank's niece (and family) live outside DC and hosted dinner at their home.
Allison and Andrea came in from San Francisco and we decided to do a little exploring in DC on Sunday. The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum was the destination of choice. And to get there we opted to ride the Metro.
Smithsonian Castle
Washington Monument (complete with a plane flying over)
Capitol Building
Replica of the first manned hot air balloon
Martian watch -for keeping time on Mars
Unceremoniously demoted to a "dwarf planet"! Poor Pluto!
Symbol for Pluto blacked out!
One of the most interesting exhibits was on Amelia Earhart.
What an amazing woman - nurse, pilot, fashion designer/model, luggage designer (to name a few).
Apollo 17 display
Drones
Obligatory self-portrait before we head back to the metro.
