Discovery In All Her Beauty

We took a day trip during the Christmas holiday to the Smithsonian Institute Air & Space Museum's newest exhibit located in Chantilly Virginia. The main attraction is of course is NASA's most traveled Space Shuttle Discovery. While in operation, Discovery flew over 150 million miles around Earth. 

Holiday Decorations

Our Christmas tree is adorned with quite a few ornaments from places we have traveled through from around the country and abroad. 

It's nice to decorate each year and remember each trip with a flashback moment and smile as the tree is beautifully decorated one month each year.  

Of course, the tree is full of just cutesy ornaments we have collected over the past nineteen years as well. Our tree also has our first two beloved dogs we had for many years and sadly lost to old age.
