Evergreen Air and Space Park

Mike called his old friend Bob Krause, who lives in Oregon, and Bob suggested we visit the Evergreen Air and Space Park that is located near where we stayed. It is an amazing place - - an iMax theater, a building full of all sorts of airplanes including the Spruce Goose (HUGE!) and an SR-71, another building full of incredible originals and replicas from the Russian and American Space Programs, and a water park running from the belly of a huge airplane perched on top of a large building. And, up on the hill overlooking the buildings, there are a group of tanks.

The whole thing is very well done with lots of interesting exhibits, movies, and interactive activities that all of the kids loved. Ian was so entranced by the place that he immediately called his “gang” and proposed a road trip. The hi-tech kids playground was a particular hit, especially with Angie; she loved the spring-loaded teeter totter.
