Life is too short

I'll just mention here that the UK is a really good place to go to a tractor show.  Car shows include a lot of fabulous stuff there too, but it's mostly unfamiliar.

They preserve everything.

I did many museums there, but I haven't been to any of the Imperial War Museum (which includes the RAF museums), and I haven't been to the famous tank museum at Bovington.

Looks like fun, was that Bath? Glad the aliens didnt get you at stonehenge

Yes a nice little town with the Romain Baths. I really liked the tour and seeing the different chambers of the bathhouse.
As far as Stonehenge, its underwhelming but worth seeing once in a life time. I was waiting for someone to pull a Clark Griswold

BTW all museums are free to all. We visited two of the but they don't even come close to the Smithsonian.

I love going to museums anyway. I’d have to say my favorite so far is the Udvar-Hazey sir/space museum near Dulles Airport (part of the Smithsonian)

I couldn’t agree with you more. While I have been to just about all the Smithsonian museums, my favorite by far is the Udvar-Hazey adjacent to Dulles airport. Walking in and looking down the nose of the SR71 or shuttle is breathtaking. Incredible presentation and definitely worth the trip.

Not the best angle, Shuttle is in the background.

They are predicting there may be a big aurora this weekend due to sun emissions, if you're still that far north.  I was just looking at flights to fly to canada for the weekend, ha ha.  I don't suppose I'll do that, but it sure fits into the "life is short"
