During work one day last week W discovered the Oakland Aviation Museum. It's off the beaten trail but definitely holds some fun treasures: old airplanes! With a full day off, we took the opportunity for a family field trip to check it out. It's a perfect place for toddlers-- there's a small interactive 'play area' for kids before walking in...
Inside the museum are giant, beautiful old airplanes. We basically had the place to ourselves so E could roam freely.
E's favorite part: toddler-sized airplane model! Seriously, cloud 9.
The yard also had some great looking jets and the boat-plane that was in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. W rented it from the library so we could watch it that evening.
I could definitely see us coming back here again--they have open cockpit days a few times a year and the boat-plane is open for tours on the weekends. Both boys loved it and I'm sure they could easily make a regular outing of it.
