Auto Museum

May 5, 2012

For today's adventure I presented Lacee with three choices, Springfest at Somersett, the Nevada National Automobile Museum, or the King Tut exhibit at Rancho San Rafael Park. Surprisingly (at least to me) she chose to go to the auto museum. We headed downtown and had a bite to eat at Subway before going to the museum. We walked along the river on our way to the museum and stopped a couple of times to watch the swallows collecting mud for their nests. We had fun looking at all of the cool cars.

Strolling through the museum.
The museum provides costumes so you can dress up and take your photo in this old car.
This was a car in a special exhibit of cars from  Burning Man. This is the 5:04 car.
This car was smashed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, salvaged, given a paint job,
and turned into a work of art. It was the first "art car" displayed at Burning Man in 1991. Learn more at:

Until our next adventure . . .
