Seattle Bound: Day 8

The Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA

Lauren is really concentrating...

All the aircraft you see is the real deal!

Does she look like a fighter pilot?

Hilarious!

Tiki Luau Event: The Logbook

Holy Slugs, Batman!

On Friday, after a week on the road, we were excited to have a day "mostly" free from commitments. We really wanted to make it to the Tiki Luau Event later that evening and we did have dinner reservations with our fellow Review Team members at night, but the rest of the day was open. When talking to our "boss" Jenn, she recommended the The Museum of Flight and that was all Mike needed to hear!

Seeing all of the real airplanes indoors was really fascinating and I loved the write-ups on each plane and on the people that have made flight possible. The girls weren't particularly impressed but there were fun things for them to do and a special area just for kids really piqued their interest. We also had fun up in the "Tower" area, where you could clearly see the runway at Boeing Field, hear the communications between the Tower and pilots in the area and see the incoming aircraft on the computer monitors. Very cool...

After that, we headed to the Tiki Luau Event which was awesome and really well planned. The hotdogs were delicious and all the food was free. BONUS. There was an awesome surfboard to sign as the "logbook" (can you find our name (Tikibirds)) and everyone was given Hawaiian Leis when they arrived. We picked up some cool swag, hung out with our fellow Michigan geocaching family members and watched with fascination the giant slugs that seemed to everywhere! Good times!
