The first stop of the day was the
Pima Air and Space Museum which is the third largest air and space Museum in the world, and the largest non-government funded aviation Museum. There is more than 300 aircraft and spacecraft some of which have great historical significance and are some of the most technically advanced craft ever produced. We took so many pictures that I have created a "PAGE" dedicated for
Aircraft. We took a Tram ride around the property for an "up close and personal" view of the aircraft, after which you could go back and walk around on your own for pictures.
Next was a bus tour of the "
Boneyard" located on the
Davis-Monthan AFB across the street. The Boneyard is essentially a graveyard for aircraft.
Lastly, George, Tom and Pat walked through 2 of the 5 aircraft hangars back at PIMA. One was the spacecraft hangar and the other contained WWII aircraft.

| Kiwi Knitting |
A day wouldn't be complete without a visit to a local yarn shop so I chose
Kiwi Knitting in downtown Tucson. A wonderful little shop owned by Lynn Davis who moved here from WI. The shop is a converted dwelling with a big picture window in the front where ladies gather to knit together. A very happy place to be. Lynn printed a pattern for me from
Ravelry and helped me choose just the right yarn for my next cowl. THANKS Lynn....I really enjoyed your special place!
