Awed and Amazed by Fantasy of Flight

Sometimes I get lucky and have so many fabulous photos of a place I visit that the entire review can be in photos and Fantasy of Flight was breathtakingly photogenic. In Seattle we have The Museum of Flight where we can take all kind of photos of airplanes. It’s walking through a museum. Fantasy of flight takes you on an adventure while showing you all the airplanes over the years. You not only get to see the planes you feel the life they lived. You have to see it to completely understand what I’m saying. You live the fantasy!

Fantasy of Flight is in Polk Florida very close to Kissimmee. It’s worth the drive over to see a unique display of the history of planes. They offer a variety of guided tours including visits to their working restoration and maintenance areas. My favorite part was the tour we took. Walking through areas of war actually made me nervous.

Some of the aircraft we saw has been carefully restored to represent the same dignity they possessed when they ruled the skies. They were beautiful planes. I think because my son has such a fascination with airplanes it gave me a fascination. Seeing everything through the eyes of a child makes me feel young again. This is defiantly a place I want to take Miles to one day.

One area that we didn’t try was the Fun with Flight Center. There you can take a spin on a state-of-the-art hang glide simulator and climb on board a real B-17 Flying Fortress in a WWII bombing mission.

From Museum of Flight To Lego Delight

Yesterday daddy took Miles out for a day along with daddy. Miles got to pick what he wanted to do and his first choice was to go to the donut shop. Then they went to the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The Museum of flight is perfect for little kids. There are so many different fun activities for all of them to enjoy. Turns out, they didn’t even do all of it in one day so we have to go back.

Miles loves airplanes. Every time he sees one in the sky he gets excited. We see planes daily in the sky above our house so I hear his excitement every day. I also hear it when they take me to the airport for a blogging trip. There was a time, and I still wonder if he knows now, when he thought I worked at the airport. It seems hard for him to understand that I went somewhere other than the airport every time they dropped me off.

Point is He LOVES planes!

When asked which ones were his favorite, it was really hard for him to decide. But I’m pretty sure he’s in love with The Blue Angels. The middle photo of the next three is a retired blue angel plane.

He loved his experience so much that when he came home he reenacted his experience with LEGOS. He had to build some airplanes (mommy and daddy helped) and then after they were all built he had to put them in a museum. It was just ADORABLE. So here is Milesman’s Lego Museum of Flight.
