Tomorrow it’s back to the grindstone, so today we went on two separate outings to get the most out of our last day of Memorial Day Weekend. We started off at Tryon Creek State Park. I don’t even remember where I first heard about it, but I am so glad we went because it was a beautiful hike.
Checking out a snail
It was quite a drive from Tryon Creek to our next destination so we stopped for a bite to eat first and then headed to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum. The boys and I went to the adjoining water park last December, but didn’t make it to the museum. Holy cow! This museum is on par with the air and space museum in Washington, D.C. It was fantastic.
This is a game to test and see if you have the same kind of skills a pilot needs to fly a plane…slow and steady. You have to keep the ball up in the air and maneuver it through a hoop, back around, through the hoop again, back around the other way and back through the hoop again. The ball is kept in the air with air that is blowing through the tube, but maneuvering the ball without it dropping is not easy. (Do you see that GINORMOUS airplane in the back? That’s the Spruce Goose. The picture can’t capture how incredibly huge it is.)
The Mercury 7
Wow! The weekend looks like so much fun. The only thing missing was slappy cakes?
I love the new blog template. The notepaper fits so well…a little bookish, a little retro, totally cool.
