RV Parks, Close Encounters and Transformers?!? Cherry Hill RV Park and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles- June 15, 2011

Finally! We made it to Cherry Hill RV Park.  Whose slogan is "A Monumental Experience"!  This is probably the best RV park we've stayed at in all of our travels.  It is rated 9.5/9.5/9.5 in Trailer Life Directory, but should have been rated 10/10/10. You can purchase bus tickets, subway tickets, tour tickets, etc. at the RV office. They have two swimming pools with life guards and at least two playground!  Movies are shown nightly, weather permitting.  They recycle!  The staff is friendly and the grounds are well groomed. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend staying here!!!

After relaxing at Cherry Hill for a bit, we traveled to the Udvar- Hazy Smithsonian Air and Space Museum near Dulles.  Yes, it is the site of one of the scenes from Transformers II.  This museum houses one of the only Blackbirds on exhibit as well as the famous Enola-Gay, the Space Shuttle Enterprise, and the model used in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  A neat tidbit is that Lucas hide a miniture of R2D2, a cemetary, a Volkswagon Beetle, and several Star War's jet fighters in the model!
