a new frontier

Having grown up in an all-girl household myself - engines, fast cars, and fighter jets simply doesn't take my breath away... like glitter. Or rainbows. But when I became a mom to a boy - some of that "zoom, zoom" has transpired into my list of joys. We love to watch planes pass by and pretend they are dropping off a shipment of balloons to children in China {or something fancy like that}. And I can appreciate a good car when I see one {especially italian ones}.

So it was only a matter of time before we ventured out to explore the Frontiers of Flight Museum for a little bit of that zoom, zoom... and more.

While there is little to do and see here in this airplane hangar at Love Field airport {less than an hour}, there is still enough to be left to the imagination - for both boys and girls {including me}.

Before you go...

There is a children area to the right of the entrance that includes a bounce house, reading section, JayJay the Jet Plane programming, and air control tower. On the left hand-side, parents and children will appreciate old planes hanging from the ceiling, as well as historical facts and exhibits ranging from hot air balloons to space crafts.

Take some time before or after your visit to hang around outside and watch the flights take off from Love Field. Or soar over to the library and pick out these fun books about flight and space. The Little Airplane, What's Out There?, and Spaceboy
