We spent the better part of the day at the Pima Air & Space Museum.
The museum is about 15 miles south of Tucson, near Davis-Motham AFB. The museum is really two parts, indoor themed displays with various interactive exhibits, and a massive outdoor static display of various aircraft. We saw most all of the indoor displays, and all the static displays that Tyler’s three year old legs would allow. Expect to take about 3 to 4 hours to see it all.
We were very impressed with the wide variety of aircraft, especially large aircraft, on display. Most museums would be proud of 1 B-52, but 3 side by side? They also had a B-17, B-29, and an SR-71. Most aircraft were available to go right up and touch, but very few were you able to actually go inside.
After lunch we decided to head back to the room. We were a little annoyed that by 3pm the room still hadn’t been cleaned! Still we took a nap (well Tracie did anyway) and then decided to do some shopping. Didn’t buy too much (for myself that is), Tracie finally got her own laptop though. With Tracie doing her Masters online, I’ve just got tired of sharing mine all the time.
Ended the day with our first ever trip to the Waffle House. I know they are raved about in the south, but there is only one that I know of in Phoenix. Well we had come across 3 or 4 in Tucson so decided to see what the fuss was about. To me it seemed a step down from a Denny’s. The staff were pleasant though, and the food was good for what it was.
Tomorrow its the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.
