We are always happy to spend time with family and friends if our route and schedule allows it. A few nights in Midland, Virginia was highly enjoyed by all of us. My Aunt Elsie and Uncle Tom live on a beautiful farm in the country and had a great spot for us to park at. My cousin and her family live on the same property in a gorgeous barn-turned-house and it was fun to hang out with them too.

| Elsie spoiled us rotten by cooking almost every meal for us. |
 |
| It's not like I'm going to turn this down! |
 |
| Puzzles! Most of the Byler's love puzzles and that gene did not bypass our children! |
We spent a day at the Udvar-Hazy Center where we saw airplanes of every size and from every year! Tom was a fabulous tour guide and filled us in on many amazing facts. Unfortunately, I was overwhelmed and didn't take notes or retain much information so pretty much all I have is pictures 🙄.
 |
| We were able to go up into the Observation Tower and watch planes coming in to a nearby airport. |

| Ethan was delighted to ride on Uncle Tom's chair! |
 |
| There was a pilot here who explained in great detail how to steer a plane. Michael and Makayla have now added pilots to their list of things to be! |
 |
| The guys spent way to long looking at engines :). |
 |
| This plane was at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. |
 |
| The Space Shuttle Discovery has flown almost 150 million miles and shuttled 184 men and women into space and back! |

| An early plane. It's amazing the flimsy little things they got up in the air! |
 |
| Ethan had so much fun with Kinsley! |
 |
| See how nice our rig fits in there? |
 |
| They have several large dining room windows and I loved watching the birds feed. |
