Naval Aviation Museum
The other day youngest and I went to the Naval Aviation Museum. It is free to visit, but they do accept donations.
They have 2 buildings now and oodles of volunteers to tell you all about the aircraft. Of course, you can choose to do a self guided tour or join one of the many offered there. Also they have an IMAX theater and lots of hands on exhibits. And lots for the kids to do too.
Hungry? They have a small restaurant. Want a souvenir? There’s a gift shop you can browse.
I also heard that the Forrestal Aircraft carrier is coming here. I will definitely visit it when it does.
UPDATE:
Oldest says the Forrestal is not coming here. But the Kitty Hawk, another aircraft carrier, is. Either way, I’ll visit and take pics.

PHOTOGRAPHY: I love taking pictures. This all started when I was a kid. I had the infamous Kodak 110 and the Polaroid “shoot the picture out, coat with preservative” type, and 35mm Canon. Then I discovered digital. WOW! is all I can say. My first digital was a Kodak 2.5 megapixel. It was great for its time. Since then I have advanced some, currently owning a Kodak 10.1 megapixel camera with a wonderful zoom lens on it. I love being able to “see” my pictures BEFORE I print them and know that they are in the camera. Even though the 35mm was versitile, I didn’t know until the film was developed whether or not a particular picture was going to be good or not, or if the camera was working properly, etc. That can be a bummer if you’ve gone on vacation with a non-functioning 35mm and you don’t know it until you get back home.
KNITTING AND CROCHETING: Knitting is one of my most favorite things to do in addition to taking pictures.
SOFT SCULPTURED DOLLS I love sewing dolls or soft sculptured animals. They are just fun to create. Most of the time they never come out just like the photo on the pattern, but that makes them unique.

I am so glad you’re enjoying your retirement. I look forward to more of your outings.
Yes, I am enjoying my retirement. I like visiting places with a history. One can learn so much. And no one is too old to learn.
