That stuff is cool, but nothing has ever blown my mind like seeing the spruce goose. It’s at the evergreen aviation museum outside of portland, and it’s impossible to believe how big it is.
- pixiemagic 4y agoGoing to museums like that is honestly one of the main reasons I'd like to visit the US. Unfortunately though, even just the biggest ones seem to be way too spread out to attempt in one trip, coming from Europe.
- dsr_ 4y agoRecommended summertime itinerary: Fly into New York City. Visit museums there for several days. See a Broadway show. See the Intrepid. Take the train down to Washington DC. Several days at the Smithsonian there, including a trip out to the Udvar-Hazy Center. Take a day trip by train to Baltimore to see the National Aquarium and the Maryland Science Center. Rent a car, drive to a beach town in Virginia for a weekend; drive back and take the train back to NYC. Or, drive up to a Delaware beach instead and return the car in NYC. See the other museums in NYC that you missed the first time. Fly home.
- acapybara 4y agoNote, there are several Smithsonian museums. E.g. Natural History, Air & Space, etc. Growing up in the DC area has spoiled me for museums. They're high quality and generally free admission.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y ago> See the Intrepid Second this. Glad to see that it's still open. I was last there sometime in the early 90's.
- benibela 4y agoIf you could still go and see the Hindenburg, it would really blow your mind. It is almost three times as large: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Giant_Aircraft_Comparison.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Giant_Ai...
