Hiller Aviation Museum

Maya loves airplanes and trains, mostly stemming from our trip to New Orleans (she still talks about how the captain said hello to her). So last weekend we went up the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos. It's a failrly reasonable $10 to get in (after $1.00 off online coupon) and Maya was free.

They mainly have lots of very old airplanes but have few newer ones as well.

We walked around the old planes a bit but Maya wasn't too interested in those.
