I'd make sure there was suitable distance between the two of you if you DO ask the question. I was quite surprised at her reaction when I asked my question.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-9580091068591886762014-11-22T11:00:50.285-08:002014-11-22T11:00:50.285-08:00Heh!Heh!(not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-21377815547001354592014-11-22T10:45:19.319-08:002014-11-22T10:45:19.319-08:00Copy all Cap'n.

I really like the place. At the entrance, when you stand there on the 'bridge' and see a space shuttle...............................way over there............................tucked in a corner. Go only with flightphiles. Don't go there with anyone who failed to learn flight reading about the Lufbery because they will whine about why they have to be there for so long. Ditto Evergreen if you should ever get there.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-7389740211954476832014-11-22T04:36:18.769-08:002014-11-22T04:36:18.769-08:00Udvar-Hazy is a great place.

The gift shop doesn't sell Enola Gay tees, however, and the nice old lady behind the counter nearly bit my head off when I asked for one. So there IS a downside. <b>;-)</b>Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
