This past weekend, we decided to venture out to McMinnville, Oregon to the Evergeen Aviation & Space Museum (www.sprucegoose.org). It is quite an impressive museum, dedicated to Captain Michael King Smith, with 3 buildings, including an Imax theater. We only went to the aviation museum because it was rather expensive. There we saw the famous "Spruce Goose" airplane, made of spruce wood by the excentric Howard Hughes.
The kids had fun tootling around the planes and especially in the kids area where they could play with all sorts of aviation things including many computers loaded with flight simulator software.
This is a good day trip, and would be even better if we didn't have the kids because it is smack in the middle of wine country where we could have really sauced it up at the wineries...
