Disneyworld of Fayetteville???

Well it may as well have been! Last week I took the kids on a mini road trip to Fayetteville, NC. Why you might ask well...Susan, Paul & Maddie were visiting their Harmony while Paul was working on Post for a few days. Since we are still tracked out I thought we would head down, visit with family and learn a little more about being Army Strong! After getting to Fayetteville we played with Maddie and Alli collected some more pine cones for Mr. Carron's collection (started by Alli at Susan's shower). Susan was able to go with us to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum. For those of you with boys (Big or Little) this is a must stop. Of course there is tons of history in this building. In fact some parts of the museum bring tears to your eyes! Of course our biggest surprise was Caden's ability to see the soldier in the bushes! I wonder how many people visit this museum and miss this guy? If you look really close at the back of the helicopter you can see the bushes.

We also bought tickets to the museum ride. Thanks Mr. Walt for all your hard work. This was such a cool ride...we rode a motorcycle, jumped out of an airplane, went skiing and drove a hum v!

Once the ride was over we hopped in our real car and went on post. Not growing up in a military family this was all new to me and the kids. They were so excited every time they saw a person in military uniform, it didn't matter if they were riding in a hum v or mowing the grass or simply eating lunch at the next table. We stopped by the PX before we left and Caden found a uniform in his size! We had to get a photo with him & Paul! It was a great trip to the Disneyworld of Fayetteville!
