JEFFREY DAY

Jeffrey came to spend a few days with us.  We started out with breakfast at Lowell's at the Market.  We wandered around the Market for a bit and walked around town, looking at the architecture.  I think he enjoyed that.

We left downtown and headed to The Museum of Flight, which opened at 10am.  We arrived to find quite a line to get in.  This is the last weekend of the exhibit Destination: Moon with artifacts from the Apollo 11 flight to the moon, including the actual capsule.  We all enjoyed the exhibit.



Some of the original consoles from Houston were there, too.

What the typical living room looked like in 1969.

Parts of the engines that were recovered from ocean bottom.






The capsule that brought them back from the moon.




We explored the rest of the museum, too.  Darrell loved seeing some of the older airplane models.  I sketched a few while we were there.


I sketched 'The City of Auburn' and some of the planes overhead while Darrell and Jeffery went in the flight simulator.

Here's a B-29, one of the planes outside.
