Inside at the Henry Ford Museum

Now that it's getting chilly outside, we look for indoor adventures. On Tuesday, both the kids and Rick had a day off. We celebrated by driving to Michigan and spending the day together. After enjoying burgers at Fuddruckers, we made a visit to the Henry Ford Museum. We'd never done the indoor stuff, so it was all new to us.

The museum has a whole section dedicated to the evolution of flight over the past century. We saw some crazy footage of early stunt fliers, inventions by the Wright brothers, and fully assembled airplanes. It was so cool!

Jake just couldn't get this guy interested in the airborne acrobatics.

For a limited time, the museum has a whole Lego Knights Kingdom display. It's all interactive and hands on. The kids would have stayed there all day building castles had we let them.

We learned all we ever wanted to know (and more) about the progression of farming equipment.

We couldn't resist taking a family picture in front of the wiener mobile.

Are you hungry for a hot dog?

He looks good enough to eat.

The Goldenrod still holds the title for fasted land speed record.

Our favorite part of the tour was climbing on the bus where Rosa Parks sat.

I'm so glad Emma still has some years ahead before she is officially behind the wheel. Instead of a Model T, she'll be driving a tank.

I'm not sure what this is, but doesn't Jake look cute?

All aboard!

This is a snow plow-type train.

We need this so our whole family can ride in the Amtrak Century next year.

All in all, it was a GREAT day trip. If you ever come visit us in the great state of Ohio, we'll be happy to take you to the world famous Henry Ford Museum!
