Birthplace of Neil Armstrong :)

Some parents want their kids to see all 50 states, or visit all of the national parks. My mother made sure I saw just about every antique store on the east coast. What do I want to pass on to Cooper? Air and Space Museums. :) Saturday we traveled to the little known hometown of Neil Armstrong--Wapakoneta, OH. Cooper got to see space suites, memorabilia, and the actual Gemini VIII spacecraft that was piloted by Neil Armstrong (also aboard was Dave Scott...a UoM alum!)!!! I don't think it is a coincidence that my son was born in Ohio and within a week of the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing.... :-D
