Cradle of Aviation Museum

If your kids are bored and the weather outside is frightful, then here is an idea. Visit a museum. On Long Island, NY there are many choices. This past weekend I went to the Cradle of Aviation which is close to the Nassau Coliseum in Garden City. Lots of planes from the earliest gliders to the lunar lander module. Long Island had quite a bit of defense contractors back in the day. There are many interactive exhibits that are great for the kids. A nice way to spend a Saturday.

Wheeee....

The defense companies on Long Island get to show some of their products. Imagine my surprise to see the box I have helped build for years on display in a museum. Who knows? My fingerprints could be on this box.
