Visit the Warhawk Air Museum

Captains Log August 22 – Happy Birthday Dad!  I still miss you and I love you!

It’s a beautiful day in Caldwell, ID.  Nothing overly exciting today!  We were a little slow getting

going.  After breakfast we showered and eventually left for Nampa, ID where we had lunch at Holy Cow!   For a Sunday they had a nice crowd and the service and food was excellent. 

I had read that the Warhawk Air Museum was very interesting and so I asked Bill if he’d like to go.  He was a bit reluctant but I think he saw it as a chance to get out for a while so we went.  It was one of the best air museums we have ever been in.  It’s primarily Idaho donations from families who served from WWI thru Desert Storm.  Individual displays of their uniforms, photos and war memorabilia are encased in glass.  There are some displays from outside but it’s mostly Idaho citizens.  There are several fighter planes and a helicopter from

Vietnam.  Two of the planes are the only ones left in the US that are used in movies shot from that time era.

There is also a VINTAGE car collection.  They are in mint condition and beautiful cars.  The museum has received grants enabling them to add a lot more space to their building.  There is a small seating area with a large TV that shows video of Bob Hope on his WWII tours to entertain the troops.   That was super in addition to so much inclusion of the part that women played in the war efforts, including Rosie the Riveter!  If you’re ever near Nampa, ID, it’s a great place to visit!

Bill found a used book store that he wanted to go to, like

we don’t already have about 100 unread books.  So we stopped there and they sell new and used books.  I found one on clearance for .94 and Bill got 4-5 others.  That’s it until we get rid of some of these books!  Looks like a book sale at the November RV Rally in Eustis!

Then it was head home for some chicken pasta salad I made before we left and watching some new episodes on Hallmark!
