Museum of Flight, Boeing Airfield

We took a last minute trip up to the Museum of Flight in Seattle. I thought it would be fun, but it completely exceeded expectations. We went over Memorial Day weekend so there were a dozen old war planes that flew in for the day just for show. The boys were able to climb inside a few of them and ask many many questions of the pilots (some were happier to oblige than others :-) Nathaniel spent the most time talking to a search and rescue Cessna pilot and learned about what pilots do when people go missing on the mountain. Both boys got to sit in the cabin and push buttons and flip levers. Pretty cool. Inside the museum itself we visited a few of the historical areas including Boeing's first workspace. Then over the skybridge to look at the NASA museum and board some of the retired planes including AirForce One (President Kennedy's plane). We also went on the Concord which apparently can cross the Atlantic in under 3 hours!!! I think the boys enjoyed the pedal planes most of all.... I mean why wouldn't you want your own plane right? It was a really great place to go. I think we should go again soon.
