Default Slow's vacation

Just got back from my vacation with the misses. We stayed with her parents in NJ to visit. We went to NYC, Washington DC. We hit up all the toll roads and tunnels inbetween. Another friend of mine from NY came to vist in his 06 STi

I've been a aviation fan for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to go to the National Air and Space Museum, and the new Udvar-Hazy Annex of NASM... Not to mention check out NYC, and Washington DC.

I'm guilty of taking to many pics of airplanes, and not enough pics of people I'll try better next time.

Enterprise rental cars didn't have a midsize car, so we where upgraded to a 06 Dodge Charger, with a 5.7L Hemi All for midsize prices!!! I only behaived badly in it 1 time, after turning off the ESP. Traffic and cops in the NY/NJ are everywhere....

Here's the pics:

Great pics!

When/if in Pensacola, check out the museum at the Naval Air Station (home of the Blue Angels) - IMHO it's better than the NASM in D.C.
