Or at least half a week of airplanes!
We dropped off the Emperor at BWI on Tuesday and then hung around at the observation deck watching the planes take off and land.
If you live near BWI and haven't been there, go just for the observation deck! They have a mini museum with (among other things) a real cut apart plane and cool climbing toys for younger kids.
We continued the theme with library books, the Bill Nye and Brain Pop videos on flight and a visit to the fabulous College Park Aviator Museum. Tons of hands on exhibits with a heavy dose of fun (aviator jackets, caps, goggles, and scarves!). Plenty of crafts and a goody bag to take home. This is a nearly ideal museum, one that will amuse and inform from 2 to adult and only $2 for kids!
After we got home we played with gliders paper airplanes and bubbles (air pressure), and discussed Bernoulli.
