Hood River, Oregon and What a Museum!

This is what we saw when we walked out on our balcony early Thursday morning.

then..... we pulled into shore at Hood River and the American Song put out her  extension walk for passengers to disembark onto shore.

We took the walkway and got on a bus for a ride to one of the best museums we had ever seen.

We went to the WAAAM museum which stands for the Western Antique Aero-plane and Auto Museum.
The displays were almost all related to transportation.

The indoor museum covered three acres and every vehicle had been restored to "like new" condition.  Here is Karen above with a few of the 160 airplanes.

The airplane displays were the the best we had ever seen.
And there were even more old restored automobiles.

This old 1950 Oldsmobile was one of many of the cars built in Lansing.

A lot of the cars were very old and rare.

This electric car from 1914 reminded us how we are now turning full circle as new electric vehicles are replacing the internal combustion vehicles of today.  

There were tractor displays like this and displays of almost any vehicle you can imagine from the USA.
We saw motorcycles, outboard motors, motor scooters, bicycles, snowmobiles, etc. as well as paraphernalia that is associated with the vehicles.
Beautiful and all restored!

We made it back to the ship for lunch and then walked around Hood River, Oregon for the last warm day in the forecast.  We shall see....
