Father's Day 2008

For Father's Day we went to the Museum of Flight at Boeing field. The kids and I have never been there before and didn't know what to expect. But we were all very excited when we arrived. It was very educational for all of us and there were things geared just for kids that they loved.
They had some special stuff for the day. The kids got to make, or pick out really, a candy bi plane. We also got one and I can't wait to disassemble it for eating!
The huge variety of artifacts that we there to read about and see was astounding. It was great to get to walk in a unit of the space station and see what the astronauts have to work and live in. I definately couldn't stand the cramp spaces. We got to pretend to be flying aces and the founding father's of flight.
It was amazing to see so much history about of nation and the industry in one spot. I find history much more interesting from this type of learning than in a classroom. This would be a great field trip for older kids to learn from.
I hope that all the Fathers had a great day and were able to enjoy some of the much anticipated warm weather.
