Today we decided to stay on Long Island. We visited the Cradle of Aviation Museum located in Garden City. This is an excellent aviation museum. It exposes one of the best kept secrets of Long Island and that is that there was a huge industry related to aviation on the Island for most of the 1900s. This is where Charles Lindbergh took off from on his momentous flight across the Atlantic. Many airplane manufacturers set up shop here. A lot of the manufacturing of the early space capsules and landing vehicles was also done here. The old Roosevelt Field is now located under a huge shopping mall of the same name.
We also watched an I-Max moved on Dinosaurs. This was very good and the animations were a bit scary at times.
