Over the weekend, I got some much needed R & R in preparation for the 2010 wedding season. A 3 hour drive to Kalamazoo and it's nearby Gilmore Auto Museum was well worth it (One of the top 10 Auto Museums in the country!). Also, the Kalamazoo Air Zoo (antique aircraft museum) is highly recommended, too. The Air Zoo was free, and survives only on donations, attraction ride purchases and IMAX movie ticket purchases. The $2 per person short IMAX production is great and recreates the historical B-17 bombing run where 1/3 of these planes were shot down over Nazi occupied Germany in WWII. The movie is dedicated to those men lost and portions of the procedes continue to go to help the families they left behind. I highly recommend both places if you are a transportation history nut like me!
