As our time here in the Dayton area is coming to a close we have begun to realize the many aspects of this area that we are going to miss. One of the local attractions which has been a favorite is The National Air Force Museum, which is not just ever expanding but also free.
So we decided to visit the museum at least one more time as a family and used a family home evening to do so. The girls can never get enough of these magnificent aircrafts, from the Wright Flyer to the Stealth Bombers, the girls look upon with amazement....as do their parents of course.
Neleha stopped to pose next to a display of her name sake, Bob Hope (Neleha Hope).
The girls are most excited about walking through the planes that are open to visitors. They dragged me through one and Kristy through another, our girls keep us very active.
During our visit we came across a new exhibit displaying historical aircraft art by Walt Disney and other famous cartoon artists.
The highlight of our visit was to see the new missile room. It was an amazing feeling to be standing at the base of these giant tools of war and space exploration. To imagine that some of these missiles would bring the devastation of conflict and others the hope of insight into the unknown, a real contrast.
We ended our visit with a pose from the girls in a jet cockpit and of course we had some astronaut ice cream from the gift shop.
