Evergreen Air Museum

So on our way home from the beach we stopped in McMinnville at the Evergreen Air Museum.  I thought at first, ok, only an hour here tops!  But the more we looked, the better it was. We ended up staying at least 2 hours, so it was a nice break with a lot of information!  Plus, I thought the kids would just run around like lunatics and start yelling, etc.  But they didn't.  We had a blast and I'm really glad we stopped to see all of the airplanes, read about a bunch of war facts, and seen the one and only Spruce Goose!  And a water park included with an airplane on top of the building is supposed to open next year - so maybe we will be back!  We also missed out on the IMAX theater.  So much to see!

They had to sit in the airplane seats :)
Had to get a picture of this!
The Alley Cat Airplane

The magnificant "Spruce Goose"  That thing was huge!
A water bucket that helicopters use to put fires out.  Didn't think they were this big!
