This is the first time Mark or I visited the MOTAT- or museum of transportation and technology. We didn't get to see all the displays, or really enjoy the whole museum as we went for a Military Day event, but we saw enough of it that we are excited to go back with Geoff (Mark's brother) when he visits in April.
The MOTAT is spread over two sites. One area houses all kinds of trains, trams, a whole mini village and lots of displays on phones, music, video games and computers among other technologies. The second site houses all kinds of planes. The military day was taking place at the second site, but we didn't know that until we showed up at the primary site. There were several events, but we had specifically come for the air craft fly overs and we had a bit of time before that was to happen so we decided to look at a few displays before heading over.
A photo where Thomas is awake - other than some of the walk we did in Cornwall park the other night, this is one of Thomas's first trips out of the house where he was awake and looking at the colours and people as we were walking around.
Some of the trains at the museum, along with some of the employees. We spent an hour and a half here before walking over to the second site. It wasn't that far and only took about 15 minutes. Once we arrived at the Military day, we were greeted by all kinds of military paraphernalia, food stalls, crowds of people and general glee and happiness. Mark spent some time looking at some of the vehicles they had on display.
Inside, there were all kinds of cool airplanes and lots of interesting facts and notes on them. We only spent a bit of time looking at the displays knowing that we would be coming back and having spent the better part of four hours out and about with the baby. One of the highlights for me was having Thomas complete his first photobomb. Mark was trying to take a picture of one of the planes and I just held the baby up in front of the camera. Parents have to have fun too....right?
