We broke up our long drive to and from the beach with pit stops.  On the way down, we stopped at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and park for lunch.   We got attacked by ducks and practiced our performances on the outdoor stage and checked out the fountain.

On the way back, we stopped in Tuskegee.  We gave the kids a choice between the Airmen Museum or George Washington Carver’s home.  The kids had just finished listening to an audiobook on George Washington Carver but didn’t know much about the Tuskegee Airmen.  So, they voted for the Tuskegee Airmen museum.  Ya’ll, if you are anywhere near Tuskegee, Alabama GO!  It was a great museum that honored the men and women who worked and trained there.   We were all so impressed.  Once again, the kids didn’t want to leave!  They loved reading all of the information.  My heart was so happy.

We spent an hour plus in the intro hanger before we actually made it to the real museum.  We had no idea we weren’t in the real museum until we ventured to the other one!
