I have to admit - Air and Space Museum? but it was really interesting and of course we had a great time! The museum is housed in a blimp hangar built in the 40s - during the war - and they have a great little film detailing the building and importance of this facility to the security of our country. There are a number of planes, exhibits and memorabilia for you to self tour and an amazing and very friendly staff to assist!
The museum is in need of volunteers and financing and it seems a shame for something that played such an important role to be wanting for much needed support.
Cost under $10.00 per person for seniors and/or military - totally worth it.
We drove out to Tillamook (about an hour) and then south for a couple of miles to the museum. Afterward we took a drive out to the Tillamook Bay and stopped at a sea salt factory/store on the shore and bought some sea salt, salt water taffy and local honey. It was rainy and cold but a very beautiful drive. We ended up eating at the Tillamook Cheese Factory again because - well - the food is just great!
The rain followed us home - getting harder and harder until we weren't sure if it was hail or wind driven rain. LOVELY DAY!
