Trip to the Naval Aviation Museum

I've been wanting to take Tripp here for a while.  Today was the day.  I was a little worried that he might be too young for it, but folks, let me tell you, HE.LOVED.IT!  There was so much to see and do.  To be honest, I'd really like to go back again, sans Tripp.  No offense to my little buddy, but there were so many exhibits where I wanted to linger, you know?  Tripp doesn't linger, he's full-speed ahead, all the time.


Not sure if he's smiling because he's flying an airplane, or because there's a girl in the cabin with him.
     


When I picked him up from pre-shool the other day, he was walking around with a clear plastic bucket on his head and telling everyone he was a "space man".  So, yes, he especially liked the Space exhibit.

I saved the play area for last and he had so much fun.  He staked his claim at this wheel and telescope and told everyone that came near he was a pirate!
We played here for about 30 minutes until I noticed him making his mad face and then pushing a little boy.  Well, he was acutally bigger and older than Tripp, but didn't defend himself!  I'm pretty sure he was very caught off-guard by this pirate growling 2-year-old.

What's a parent to do?  I coax him down the "fun" slide, gather up our belongings and leave.  There may have been a spanking involved once we got back to the car...
Although the last 5 minutes of our visit were pretty touch-and-go, overall, we had a great morning.
