Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veteran's Museum & Imaginarium 5-16-2010

I took Dad, Mom, and the boys.  This an absolutely magnificent museum.  Those of you helping with Dad's plaque.  The small wall to the side of the steps in the sliver part is where his plaque will be.

On to the Imaginarium.  ER loves weather machines.Bubble racesMake a cloud.This thing spins the pict I missed is when Grandpa did it.Dad loved his Army tie and Korean War tie Tack Mom got a Grout Museum Ornament.
I've seriously been dying to take Dad to the Veteran's Museum for a about a year and with the boys.  We all learned so much from going through with him. I felt bad in the Korean War Section he became quiet off and on.  The Final Salute Section with the Body crate I think was probably too much for him.  But he snapped out of it pretty quick.  We have him set up to do an  interview taping.  He was so excited.  We went out to Lunch then hit the Imaginarium.  I really am hard pressed to tell who enjoyed it more.  Dad had such a great time.  As did the boys with the new exhibits and demonstrations.  Now the Boys want to take them to the Buffalo Ranch.  Yipee Road Trip!!
