Family Vacation (day)

Yesterday we got to take an overdue family vacation albiet only a day it was still fun and enjoyable to leave this big metropolis we call Farmland and venture out into the world. This years destination was Dayton, Ohio and the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum and the Fairfield Commons Mall. We took off around 9 am and took the old route to Dayton going the old Greenville Pike to Greenville, Ohio and then State Road 49 down to 70, it has been quite a while since we went that route but it was cool to see how much we remembered of the road and what all has changed. Got to Wright-Patt around 10:30 or so and got in, it is free admission by the way, and decided to hit the IMAX first, I have never been to an IMAX before and it was pretty cool. We saw a show on the Spacestation which was very interesting and enjoyable.

Then it was off to the rest of the museum. The kids actually enjoyed it, Tyson liked all the bombs and big guns. It has been years since I've been there and they have added a whole other wing and space area that were not there the last time we went. While we were in the space area, which is the smallest of all the "wings" it has a second level where you can walk around and check out the rockets, after seeing them we decided to race down, the kids in the elevator and Tammy and I taking the stairs. When Tammy and I got to the bottom we noticed that the kids were still on the elevator, they stepped out of the elevator and Taylor took the stairs while Tyson waited again on the elevator. When they both finally made it to the bottom we asked what happened and they said they couldn't figure out which button to push, WHAT?????? My kids are so blond, 2 buttons and didn't know which to push. I think they need to teach common sense out there at the school.

Got done at Wright-Patt and took off for the mall, as soon as we got there it was a mission to find the food court for lunch. I ate at Chic-fil-A for the first time ever and I think that we need one of those in Muncie, it was awesome. If you've never been to the Fairfield Commons Mall, it is huge, two levels and tons of shops. Taylor went into every store that sold clothes I think and after a while we learned that if she went in there by herself the average time she spent in there was about 2 or 3 minutes, if Tammy went in with her it was more like 10-15. Walked around for a few hours and left to head home and complete our vacation day.
