Pennsylvania Military Museum

For years we have traveled in and around State College, PA and without fail MilitaryKid would ask to visit the Pennylvania Military Museum. If his request fell on his Granddad’s ears he was told that it was too small, or worst, just that look was given. The one that means, ‘you’ve got to be kidding that anyone would ever bother going to that museum.’ Every time I see that look though I would remember where I’ve seen that look before. Every time I requested to go to any museum, all through my childhood. You name it that look was given.
It might be one reason why I go out of my way to visit museums, whether they are large and known, or small and never heard of.

We visit.

And that is just what we did this summer. Finally in MK’s mind. Sure the museum is small. Sure it took us only an hour to travel through it, and no, I wouldn’t return but now we have seen it. Oh, and MilitaryKid was delighted that we traveled through it even though it was short on military stuff.

Can you see the smile on MK’s face? He gets quite excited whenever he gets close to a tank. ScienceKid is doing what he always does at a museum; read the information. MK already knows the facts about this tank though.

They nicely pose for me, but….

Boys will be boys, of course.
