We had decided to eat lunch there since our cupboards were bare (wink) and it would save time so we requested a table at the Cubi Bar Cafe. Its interior layout and decor duplicates a famous Officers' Club that was located in the Philippines. There were plaques all over the place that commemorated different squadrons. The food was decent and not too expensive. The menu was mostly soups and sandwiches. The most memorable part was an after meal "mint" that wasn't mint at all, but key lime pie flavor hard candy. It was very yummy.
There was so much to see at the museum that even though we were there for over four hours. I felt like I was walking around in a daze most of the time. Plus supervising Spence and Sky's explorations is somewhat distracting to my own learning at times. Here are some of the highlights.

| A boat plane whose insides looked kind of like a sub |

| Spencer loved this exhibit called "Sunken Treasures". The lighting gave the appearance of being underwater. There were a couple of planes on display that had been recovered from Lake Michigan and they were showing a video where pilots first practiced landing their planes on the new technology of an aircraft carrier. |

| Such a ham... |
 |
| We are here on the off season so we didn't get to see the Blue Angels practice. We read that they are available to watch almost every Tuesday and Thursday morning between April and November. |

| Feeling patriotic... |
 |
| "Marine One" used during the presidencies of Nixon and Ford. |

| Sky loved this big anchor from the USS Antietam |
