Ten Day Road Trip: Boeing Flight Museum


5/29/2017: Today was Memorial Day.  We didn’t visit any cemeteries, but we went to the Boeing Air Museum and got in on a wonderful memorial service.  It honored the veterans of World War 1 and 2, especially those who gave their lives defending freedom.  The stories were touching and I realized once again the every generation has people of great honor, 
valor, and courage.   The museum is huge, but well worth the time to visit.  It featured all things airborne from the Wright Brothers to a 747!  I loved the tour through Air Force One, the retired plane that carried the President of the U.S. on many trips.   That evening we went out to dinner to a Greek restaurant.  That was a treat.  That evening we enjoyed FHE together. I love the spirit of the Mitchell home.  There is so much that is good going on in that home.  As a grandparent that is a source of true joy!
