Part 11 here
Today we went to the National Museum of Air Force. To be honest, we are not big fans of the planes, but this Museum opened a new Presidential exhibit recently, so we decided to take a look.
New exhibit is located in the far end of the series of connected hangars so it is a long walk there. During walk, kids noticed flight simulators and wanted to try. Dad with Kate flew through the tornado and Pavlik and Ira operated with jet fighter.
While dad with Kate where inside I made a photos of them
And Pavlik said:
– Ira, let me be the pilot and you will be the shooter? – Ira agreed but asked why Pavlik wanted to be the pilot? – I am a very bad shooter, – was the answer.
So they went inside and as soon as doors were closed I’ve heard loud laughter and shrieks. After flight was over, Pavlik came outside and said:
– Probably, I’m a better shooter than the pilot….

Finally we came and explore presidential planes.

After spending some time in Museum, we continued our way. Next stop was in the Velvet ice Cream Factory in Ohio. We went to the tour, but unfortunately, it already stopped production for the day and we watched how everything was cleaned. This is a family facility, but they make up to 5 millions gallons of ice cream per year! The ice cream is tasty, but, in my opinion, not as good as one Washington ice cream.

We were driving through the corner of West Virginia and spent only about 15 minutes there
Close to the evening we realized that we don’t have a booked room for that night. Uh-oh! After several minutes of searching we knew that there is no vacancy in the hotels in the town we were heading. OK, let’s try something new! We went to the Pilot parking and decided to spent the night in our huge, roomy Tundra. We’ll see, what our thoughts will be about that tomorrow 🙂
