One of my very best friends from my college years lives in California and I always thought it would be so neat to be able to go see her, never imagining I would end up living just across the border from California. This past weekend we finally had the chance to meet up in Palm Springs and visit the Palm Springs Air Museum together -- an obvious choice as we both have airplane loving little boys!
A mere $1000 and you can hitch a ride in this plane too
California is still largely closed down and there are few places that are open. Thankfully the air museum is made up of several huge open airplane hangers and an outdoor lot full of planes so I guess it is open enough to be allowed to remain open. The museum abuts the Palm Springs Airport so the boys were delighted to watch airplanes come and go throughout our time at the museum.
They were a little shy at first but soon bonded over a mutual love for rock throwing and plant uprooting
After we had seen everything there was to see at the museum, we went on a mission to find food. Unfortunately, the governor of California has decreed that both indoor AND outdoor seating are illegal and most restaurants are completely closed down. So we got fast food tacos and spent the rest of our visit sitting on a curb in the parking lot eating and visiting while our little boys played in a ditch and dry desert area next to the parking lot. Certainly not the swankiest of dining experiences but our children were thoroughly entertained the whole time while we enjoyed our time visiting.
