Natonal Air Force Museum

Yesterday was Labor Day. Don't quite understand why everyone doesn't work on a holiday called labor day. Maybe they should call it Leisure day instead. Anyhow, we all took a trip up to Dayton and went to the Air Force museum that is located at Wright Patterson Airforce Base. It has everything from the Wright Brothers (including actual artifacts from the first planes) to the modern day stealth bombers and even a section devoted to Space exploration. It is housed in 3 jumbo air hangers and took us almost 4 hours to walk through the whole thing. You could really spend a whole day their absorbing and reading non-stop, if you don't have two little boys tagging along, that is. I particularly liked the Holocaust portion of the museum. There was violin the from one of the jews that suffered through Kristallnacht and was forced to play his violin while the nazis tortured his father and destroyed all his earthly possesions. Quite remarkable stories in that portion of the museum. Anyhow I'll post some pictures in the coming days.
