OK Boys and girls.... Everybody forgot to tell hin there are
2 museum of flight locations. The museum proper and the
Paine Field Restoration Center. The museum is outstanding
and the restoration facility is a completely different animal.
It is a cross between an aviation junkstore and a workshop.
There are planes everywhere in all states of restoration from
ready to display to complete rustbuckets. WAY COOL. I
used to hang out there a lot, call ahead and see if the guys are
working on stuff and they will let you in to poke around until
your head screams.......

Arlington is a good bet, but going to Chilliwak to the Murphy
factory is better if you better half wants to build one. If you
head North on the 5, there is NO BETTER BURGER JOINT
then THE ALGER BAR AND GRILL. I dare you to order an
Ooie Gooey. Cheeseburger with a sausage patty, bacon, a fried
egg and other stuff guaranteed to peg your cholesterol meter for a week.
Yeah I'm in Texas and I still miss it. If you enter Canada and go
to Vancouver BC on the way to Chilliwack, DO STOP at Granville Island,
Lots of neat stuff to do/see/eat. Glassblowers, wood kayak shop,
jewelry, chlothes, model boats. It is a many hour walk to do it justice.
If you hit the Museum of Flight on thursday evening, I'd go straight up
north
and skip Arlington.
