Intrepid Museum

Since I took Schnitzel yesterday, today was Shandos's turn. I headed out early in the morning to the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum. This museum is located on the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier that fought in the Pacific during WW2 and was in active service until after the Vietnam war. It had taken several hits from kamikaze planes during a battle, and there was an interesting cinema display about that.

Lots of cool planes on the deck, including a Concorde, an SR-71 (one of my favourite planes, the fastest and highest air-breathing aircraft ever built), and the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Also next door was the USS Growler, an early cruise missile submarine that was interesting to look over.

Headed back into Manhattan where I had a Five Guys burger for lunch, which I definitely preferred to Shake Shack although SS are more famous. Home in the late afternoon to relax and do some laundry.Read more
