Our second museum stop was in Dayton, OH, home to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The boys really loved this stop. We saw hundreds of airplanes, starting with the Wright brother's invention and ending with the B-2 Bomber. It was a walk through history and boggles the mind to consider how far we have come in 100 years!

There were about 8 airplanes outside, including the Hanoi taxi which brought home POW's from Vietnam. (Not pictured here.)
Little boy, big dreams...
Helicopters are his favorite.

Dreaming of joining the Air Force? Maybe a little...
My favorite, the B-2 bomber. It's hard to see in the picture, but that seems fitting for this stealth plane.As we reflected on our visit, it is easy to see why we put so much faith in our military strength, yet that is not where it should rest. Ps. 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." Still, we appreciate those who have made the sacrifice of protecting our country. The sweetest moment of the day was when Rachel spotted a woman dressed in military fatigues and worked up the courage to say, "Thank you for serving our country." She was noticeably touched by her expression of gratitude.
