One of the things we have to do four times a year is go to Woodinville for Isaac's doctor appointment.  Why?  Well his peditatric endocrinologist is in Woodinville.  It is a bit of a drive (1hour 45 minutes) but really not bad.  Since we are down in that area I always try to plan something to do and spend the day.  I try to schedule the appointment in the morning so we have the rest of the day.  Sometimes we hang out at the river park in Woodinville.  Sometimes we go to the tulip fields.  We've taken in Mariner games, went to Pike's Place Market, just tons of stuff.  This time we decided to take in the Museum of Flight.  Going to a museum with my kids is not for the faint of heart.  Prepare to view everything, experience everything, read, watch, touch all that is allowed.  In order to reach the museum we had two choices, take 405 to 90 or 405 to the floating bridge, which sounds cooler?  The floating bridge.  It was a bridge but not to the kids.  There was lots of discussion about tsunamis, flooding, boats, and of course we saw house boats which brought on a whole different discussion.  I'll let the kids tell you what we did there.  First is Lona's written account.



"Lona's trip to the Museum of Flight.  The Museum of Flight is huge. It took us 5 hours.  But we did not look at all of it.  We were able to go in some fabulous planes.  It is a four story.  It was the most fun museum.  It was fun because it told a lot of stuff.  And it showed the bombers.  It answered a lot of questians. They had the first motor plane ever. The Red Barn was pretty cool.  It is a work shop where they built planes.  Every man who built a plane, built more then 100 pounds. We went in some planes and it was pretty cool.  I had to go outside when we went in the concorde it was so hot. The Enola Gay plane dropped the first atomic bomb.  A crew of five people built a win.  A wing is huge and heavy.  I think only two people built half an engine."
Job's description,





"My field trip to the museum of flight.  The museum of flight was fun, big (4 stories), and a little bit outdoors.  Let's start with space, the final frontier.  In the space place it had: model spaceships that you can walk through with glass floors with a TV screen under the glass with a video of mexico at a space ship camera's point of view and switches on the walls and ceiling and a padded room for sleeping, pictures and videos and recordings of satellites and rockets and astronauts and their equipment.  Now let's go to WWI planes.  In the WWI place it had/ speakers with dog fight sounds, model crashed planes, books, movies, videos, video games, models, and pictures of planes.  The WWII place had the same stuff as the WWI place so let's move to the Air Park.  The Air Park was outdoor but we went in the concorde and a plane that lots of presidents rode in (Boeing 707 (original aire force 1)), and saw a Boeing 747 and a shelter where they are going to keep the space shuttle."

Le semaine passe nous sommes alles au musee de vole. L'impression plus forte de Job et Lona est le musee est tres grande. Il faut que nous lisons tous les placards, voyons tous les films, esayons tous les activites.  Apres cinq heures, je dit que c'est temps d'aller.  "Mais nous ne voyons pas tous.  Il y a plus de voir." disent les enfants.  J'etais fatigue et c'est plus que deux heures avant entre la maison.  Mais j'aime que les enfants sont interessant aux choses.  Ils aiment d'apprendre et dans un musee ils pouvent apprendres plus que dans un livre.
