Trip Day 8 Dayton, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky

We spent the morning at the Air Force Museum in Dayton. They had a lot of great planes! 



Replica of Wright Brothers Flyer. 

Elizabeth had fun in these little kid things. 

Memphis Belle!


Bockscar. Enola Gay dropped one of the atomic bombs and Bockscar dropped the other. We saw the Enola Gay at the Smithsonian last summer. 


Replica of the atomic bomb Fat Man that was dropped on Nagasaki. It was made from plutonium produced at Hanford. Bockscar dropped this one. 

Replica of Little Boy that was dropped on Hiroshima. It was made from uranium and dropped by the Enola Gay. 

















After the museum, headed south. Here's the sign when we drove into Kentucky! 


We stopped at the Louisville Slugger museum to see their big bat. The tours were kind of expensive and we were tired so we didn't go inside. 

Downtown Louisville was relay neat! 

We drove by Churchill Downs. You couldn't see much from the outside. 

We drove over the bridge into Indiana. We didn't spend much time in Indiana. There are a few states we haven't done much in (New Mexico, Arkansas, and now Indiana).
