American Airlines CR Smith Museum

There is a little museum down at the American Airlines headquarters at DFW airport. And it turns out that we live right down the street from all of this. So we decided to go down there.

I must preface this by saying that we learned last summer that Henry does not like museums that have dramatic lighting (dark with spotlights aimed at the exhibits) and he does not like mannequins. We learned this last year at the Boy Scouts museum. I thought maybe I had a post about that, but I can't find it. I don't know why I thought I'd find any b/c Henry was clinging to me and screaming the whole time - I didn't take pictures, and I really didn't want to blog about it.

So, anyway, I tried to find out if the AA museum was like this, but I couldn't get info from any other mommies. So we decided to just go check it out.

Henry insisted on wearing Leo's shirt on this day.

Well, it turns out it was mostly dark with dramatic lighting...and it also had mannequins. Gah! The docents helped us run through the dark part to get to this light hangar with the airplane. This put Henry at ease a tiny bit, and we were able to look at some of the rest of it after he calmed down. He really never did relax, though.
