Omaha: Strategic Air & Space Museum

On our last full day in Nebraska, we got to spend some time with Grandpa John, and we decided to visit the Strategic Air & Space Museum since Noah loves airplanes :-)

 Rocket Ship!



My cousin Katie and her two kids (Gradyn & Brynlee) were also able to join us at the museum!

Although the kids enjoyed seeing the airplanes, they couldn't really play in them or even go inside most of them, so we spent a lot of time playing in the kids' area :)

The big kids had fun playing, too ;-)

This picture will look familiar to some of you! When my sister Holly got married, Noah spent a good part of her reception pushing Brynlee around in a stroller and he apparently wanted to recreate that memory at the museum :-)


This was the other area where the kids wanted to spend most of their time! Forget the real airplanes, they just wanted to be able to fly themselves

One of Noah's favorite parts of the museum, riding up and down the escalator (something else not found in Kauai!) 

There they go again


Before we left the museum, I told Noah to go stand by his favorite airplane so we could take a picture, and out of all the airplanes in the museum this is the one he chose!!!

Daddy chose this as his favorite airplane :-)

After the SAC museum, we went for a walk to the park near Grandpa John's house

Cheeseball!

While in Omaha, we had the pleasure of staying with Ely's Uncle Joe & Aunt Patti
