On Columbus Day, we took the day off for some sight seeing.  It was a beautiful day, perfect for being at the Mall in Washington DC — We stopped by the Air and Space Museum and saw a 3-D movie called “Magnificent Desolation” — This movie is about the Apollo/Astronauts walk on the moon (did you know that 12 Astronaults have walked on the moon?)– This is a very interesting movie and it is worth seeing it.  Admission fees $9 per adult and $6 per child. Â
If you like eating at MacDonald’s there is one inside the Museum however it is cheaper to eat at the one located about 3 short blocks away at C and 4th Streets (to get there from the museum take 6th street which is right in front of the museum, go two short blocks, turn left on C Street and go to end of block.Â
