The sun was up bright and early today and it continued to shine all day long. It got really, really hot. We ventured out anyway. Our first stop was the National Museum of the Air Force. We weren't going in the museum first but on the grounds of the museum there was a model airplane show going on. It was a giant model show. I don't know what scale that is but I think it was varying scales. We brought our chairs and an umbrella and got comfortable. My Dad would have really enjoyed the day. The pilots were really good. Here are a couple of the planes.
After a couple of hours we headed back over to the entrance of the museum. This is a very large facility and very well done. They have a huge assortment of planes from the first ones made to rockets. We didn't get to finish the entire museum. They have an entire collection of presidential planes in another area. We didn't get to that part yet, maybe tomorrow or the next day.
By the time we finished this part of the museum I was exhausted so I told Bill I wasn't cooking. We found a restaurant to have dinner, the Longhorn Steakhouse. It was really good. In fact, we both ate too much. Back on the diet tomorrow.
Just before we went to bed a thunderstorm started. It was a very noisy night. Just as we started to fall asleep the thunder would start up again. And it wasn't quiet either. Walls and windows rattled.
There are a lot of pictures that I hope you enjoy.
