YAM: Yet Another Museum


Today we went to Crossroads Baptist Church here in Bagdad (day two). We listened to a great sermon by Dr. Chuck Baldwin on the evidences of salvation. After the service, we went to get lunch at a Mexican restaurant and headed toward the Naval Aviation Museum.(www.navalaviationmuseum.org)
When we first walked in, my dad went to the front desk and found that guided tours are free, so we followed a former pilot around the whole museum. He showed us some of the first planes and fighters, mostly fighters. One of my favorite parts of the museum was the Top Gun Air Combat Simulator Center. It was a motion-based movie that you watch inside a pneumatically-powered cockpit that makes all the motion of a true mid-air fight.
Another favorite of mine was the Blue Angel. Joseph got a cap at the museum gift shop that says "Blue Angels" with a picture of a Blue Angel. I got a mouse pad to replace the one I have for my computer that depicts a Blue Angel air show, mid-air.

Joe says his favorite part of the Naval Aviation Museum are the Blue Angels. (Blogged by Daniel)
