Spring Break is right around the corner and I’m almost positive my sister will be watching my Niece Lily and my Nephew Jason. Which almost means they will end up here at my house. Even though Charlie will still be in class. So I’ve been looking for Field Trips to take them on. I can’t wait to let Debbie and David know Spring Break at The Lone Star Flight Museum is Where Fun Takes Flight! Which none of us have ever visited. Have you?
