Today we spent the day touring The National museum of the US Air Force. We saw lots of planes including the very first mass produced biplane that they Wright Brothers made all the way to stealth fighters. My favorite parts included a tour of a Space Shuttle Training Module and going aboard several "Air Force One" planes including the very first one that FDR flew in after he created the US Air Force and the one JFK flew on.
Since we have traveled so extensively to so many different air and space museums, the girls kept commenting about how we have seen a lot of the same type of things before. It was funny when we were looking a "Apollo" capsule and Maddie said we say the number eleven at the Smithsonian. I guess we are total "Space Geeks".
Both girls were able to relate some of the stuff that they learned in school to the WWII and the Cole War exhibits, but both mentioned that they just "skimmed over it." Doug and I were glad that we could give them more information.
It was a really cool museum, and we could have easily spent more time there, but we were getting tired and the girls were "airplaned out",
Anyway we got back to the campground and enjoyed dinner and are currently sitting around the fire. Maddie is reading, Doug is researching more interesting facts about the museum and Hailey is on her phone as usual.
Tomorrow we need to get up early for a 5 hour drive to our next destination.
