Aviation Museum by Nicky

Aviation Museum

The first time I heard that we were to go to the Aviation Museum I felt excited, because I never been to museum like this before. I imagined that it would be a lot of different types of airplanes and the real historical airplanes, too. I couldn’t wait to visit there.

            Friday morning, July 27^th, we arrived at the museum late. We missed the Lewis and Clark biography movie. But that was not a big problem; we could watch it on YouTube. Then we moved to the next step because we didn’t want to waste too much time worrying about the movie. We saw a lot of commercial aircrafts and fighters. My favorite one was the big airplane; its wingspan stretch along one side of the building to  the other side. Some planes we could go inside but some airplanes, we couldn’t. We also explored the evolution of the airplane from the beginning of the era until now. However, I was even more excited to see the space museum, in another building. This was my first time for the real space shuttle that I’ve learned about for many years in books. There were many things interesting to discover like the Lunokhod1; the moon walkers, The US Air Force shuttle and the iron meteorite. The last thing stunning to me was the Evergreen Water Park. The water park was not too big but it’s unique because of the big airplane stand on the top of the roof. Two sliders lie down from the airplane on the top through the roof and into the pool inside the building. This was amazing!

This was one of my best memories that I will never forget. It made me think that learning from the experiences is better than books.
