AROUND MCMINNVILLE

This morning the Kathies and Jim were up early to go for a bike ride. They rode from the RV Park across the bridge to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum following the bike trail that wove all around the museum campus. There are three large buildings, the museum which houses over 150 aircraft including the Spruce Goose, an IMAX theatre that features air and space films, and a huge indoor water park with an aircraft on the roof that is one of the water slides. There is a large vineyard around the complex and a really nice trail through the evergreen trees surrounding the buildings. This is a picture of the waterpark building. Pretty crazy!

After lunch the humans went into the historic McMinnville shopping area. Lots of fun was had going in and out of the touristy shops and a large antique mall. Not too many purchases, but a fun afternoon.

Later, they decided to look at model homes. They were very impressed with the homes they toured. My Kathe was ready to sign on the dotted line for a house that backed up to an old grove oak forest. The Taylors liked a house a couple of blocks away that was larger with 4 bedrooms and a separate granny suite. Something to dream about tonight.
