My company's Holiday Party was at the National Air and Space Museum this year, and I couldn't pass up the chance to attend. We had drinks and a buffet dinner next to the SR-71 Blackbird, Shuttle Discovery, and many other interesting artifacts. The party was in the evening and I went back later the next day to take more photos.

This Snoopy/Peanuts sticker on the Mobile Quarantine Facility surprised me. Later I learned that NASA actually licensed the characters in support of the Apollo missions.
