It was a large museum, and we were a bit rushed for time, but we enjoyed it very much. Besides tons of car exhibits, innovation and machinery off all sorts were displayed, including aviation, trains, bikes, weapons, furniture, women's rights, civil rights, furniture and housewares, and even jewelry, which we did not have time for.
Here are a few pictures.

Have you been able to sit in on Trish's treatments?
Nice. I'm glad you are having a good time. I love your pictures...and thanks for the '55! Thank goodness mine is going to be turquoise and white! Pink just does not do it for me...
Word verif: scortn (could almost be scorn for the pink Chevy!)
