This post is much overdue, but I really want to share our experience at this place to encourage anyone in the Portland area to visit this amazing museum:
After Elk hunting Ben took a couple days off to be at home as well. So we were well rested and ready for an adventure. Our friends recently had told us how wonderful the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville was—and that we could get a cultural pass from the library and get in for free. We thought that sounded like just the ticket for our Saturday afternoon!
One huge hanger is full of planes and jets of all kinds. It also houses the “Spruce Goose,” a famous airplane that is enormous. I should be able to tell you more about it, because I sat and watched a documentary on it while feeding Joshua. However, I have a huge case of mommy brain (where you can’t remember anything except the essentials of life). Just trust me that the Spruce Goose is cool.
It was Josh’s inaugural trip in the new singleton stroller. He seemed to like it a lot.
Towards the front of the airplane hanger they have an interactive station. There were wooden planes for the kids to ride on. And there was a bunch of simulation video games; Ben could have played those all day. They were a bit advanced for Seth and Sam, but they still thought that they were fun.
Then there is another huge hanger all about space exploration and rockets. We actually got to see rockets! So amazing! In that hanger is also a FREE ride for kids:
And then there is a huge outside playground for the kids as well. If we didn’t have an infant we could have stayed there all day. This is definitely a place that we will return to many times! On the way home we were blessed with this amazing sunset. Thank you Lord!
