Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. Our weekend was a exciting because aside from our son having a successful and a safe and sound field trip to Atlanta with his 7th grade classmates, the hubs and I got to spend some quality time together too. We checked out a restaurant that is new to us and I didn’t only enjoy the food, I also enjoyed its whimsical decor. But more about that lunch date later.
Today, let me share with you our day at the museum. And no, we didn’t go to Charlotte this weekend. We made this trip last year and since I made a series of that trip because there was just too many awesome photos to share and too much good things to say, I thought about making one post about the museum and sharing the links to each of those posts.
We passed by the aviation museum a couple of times before for an appointment in Charlotte and I told both the husband and son that we would visit it someday once we have the time, and we finally got the time last year, on Memorial Day Weekend to be precise. I’ve shared all about what we saw, what we learned and what we enjoyed at the museum.
1) Day at the Museum: Carolinas Aviation Museum (Part 1)
Part one talks about the planes that we saw outside of the museum. There were military as well well as commercial planes like that one in the photo.
2) Day at the Museum: Carolinas Aviation Museum (Part 2)
Part two talks about the US Airways Flight 1549: Miracle on the Hudson. Do you remember that fateful flight?
3) Day at the Museum: Carolinas Aviation Museum (Part 3)
Part three talks about all the military planes, big and small.
4) Day at the Museum: Carolinas Aviation Museum (Part 4)
Part four talks about the earliest planes that we had.
I was wide-eyed like a child seeing all those magnificent and amazing planes. We always love checking out and visiting museums not only for the fun, but also for the knowledge.
Have you been to an aviation museum?
I’ve read all of your posts about the aviation museum, and they were so interesting. Thanks for putting them all together here for easy reference.
My husband and my father would both love to go to this place. They are very interested in anything airplane wise. If I get over there sometime in the future I will check this place out.
My husband would love to spend the day here. He loves aviation and how it’s evolved!
What fun museum to visit! I love exploring new museums when we travel, it’s so much fun to see the history of things and how technology has changed everything as well.
This looks really interesting! I love different types of museums and I think it would be cool to learn about the different types of planes.
That must have been so awesome to see all of these great planes at the museum. Would love to see them.
What a fun place to explore. My son is interested in planes. He’d love to go to this museum, for sure.
Oh my gosh, what an amazing museum! My kids are so into planes, they would love this so much!
It’s looks like a wonderful museum to visit while in North Carolina. I’ll be sure to put it on my bucket list when I travel back.
I never went to the aviation museum when I lived in North Carolina. I have been to the air show that they had at the Marine base in Jacksonville, NC. This museum sounds like a great place to learn about the history of flight. It is amazing how far that we have come with flight technology.
What an awesome museum! I have been to NC a few times and even to Charlotte once but never to that particular museum. I need to!!
My Father has been in love with planes my whole life. We used to go for drives to local small plane airports to see all the planes. He would love to go to this museum.
I would love to visit there. I love learning about some history. I think it would be really interesting to see this.
My kids love this place! Their dad’s girlfriend is a pilot and has taken them there. I’m sure I’ll go back to visit it with them one day as well.
My boys would love a trip to the aviation museum. I may have to add this to our bucket list.
Wow, I can’t believe he is in 7th grade already, time flies! Aviation museum always reminds me of our fun time in Pensacola Florida few years ago.
I so want to visit Charlotte – not sure if I will, this time, around but hopefully on my next trip. Definitely bookmarking this post – my daughter would enjoy the visit to the museum.
My son would love a trip like that! Such a great place to have fun and learn!
Omg this looks like a fun place to take my daughter, and even my hubby! He’s all into this type of stuff!
I’ve never been to an aviation museum before! How awesome it would be, though, to see planes so close up!
My husband has the unique job of working in the Navy as a helicopter maintainer so our family is interested in all things aviation. This would be such a fun experience for us!
