Today we had some forced family fun.
After a filling breakfast at the Pancakery, we drove to the Air Force Armament Museum at Eglin Air Force Base.

I made them all sit in the cockpit trainer exhibit for a picture.
Claudia was so excited!

Outside were plenty of aircraft.
I liked the F-111 Aardvark.
It looks like a character from a Pixar movie.

And one of Dad’s favorites…the SR-71 Blackbird.
