Seattle - part 2

We spent several hours--could have been several days--at the flight museum.
We walked through the Concorde and an old Air Force One.
It is funny to think this used to be the height of Presidential luxury and technology.
The most interesting sections to me were the WWI & WWII displays. We also walked through part of the original Boeing building and saw some of the machinery used in early aircraft production.
We hoped the day of our ferry ride would be clear enough to see the spectacular mountains all around the Sound. Of course it was actually quite foggy and windy, but still interesting.

In Bremerton we toured the Turner Joy, a Navy Destroyer. Erik and I both had grandfathers on Navy ships in WWII, so this was interesting to us even though this ship was from a different era.
Between sight seeing and school work we watched lots of tv.

One of the prettiest days was Friday when we visited the Point Defiance Zoo with the Funches and Jackson families. Here's our motley crew of 11 kids:
