Our Adventures — Planes of Fame Air Museum

If there is one thing I look forward to, it is spending weekends with my family. A couple weeks ago, my husband, toddler and I traveled out to Planes of Fame Air Museum with the goal of having a good time in addition to writing an article in honor of National Aviation Day!

Sometimes it's hard to find a place that is "kid friendly" for little runners under three. Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino was absolutely Charlotte-friendly. Although we kept our toddler in her stroller as long as we possibly could, there came a point that it was time to stretch her legs, and burn some of that endless energy. Her little face lit up as she ran around, pointing to the various aircraft, vehicles and memorabilia on display.

There were seven hangars and two outdoor areas that housed once operable aircraft and vehicles, as well as planes that still participate in air shows. The pictures below are some of my favorite highlights from the museum. To get the full download of the museum and our experience, as well as a ton of photos, check out my feature article here.

PS: When you visit, make a day of it! Check out Flo's Airport Cafe for that classic American diner feel.  The picture of Charlotte's chubby little hand grabbing a pancake while mom took pictures didn't quite make the official article for IEShineOn.com, but I have to share the picture because it's too cute. She is always a hungry girl!

Happy National Aviation Day!
