Road Trip Gallery - Pictures from my travels.

"If you think museums are boring, then you are doing it wrong."

To some people, looking at old stuff behind glass in a museum is the most boring thing a person could do.  I look at museums as a window to the past.  I love thinking about what individual items went through and what they saw, what they heard, and where they were.  For example, a helmet used on D-day.  Just think about what that helmet went through.  As the old saying goes, "If only items could talk."  Here is a list of some of the many museums and historical places I have visited.  Not all of them are military related but are all worth a visit!
  • National Naval Aviation Museum - Pensacola, Florida (One of my top museums!  Huge floor space!)
  • Fort Gaines Civil War historical site -  Dauphin Island, Alabama
  • ​Smithsonian Air and Space Museum - Washington D.C.
  • Smithsonian Museum of American History - Washington D.C.
  • United States Holocaust Museum - Washington D.C.
  • National Museum of the Marine Corps - Triangle, Virginia (Candidate for my favorite museum, Displays are next-level!)
  • NASCAR Hall of Fame - Charlotte, North Carolina
