Miles Through Time, Car Museum and Antique Store

Image
If you are searching for info and reviews about Miles Through Time , there is a good chance you’re interested in the automotive museum. This hidden gem boasts a wide variety of vintage machinery: Model T Fords, hot rods, military vehicles, race cars, and motorcycles. There is even a massive collection of vintage pedal cars and model kits if you are into nostalgic toys. At the start of the tour, many of the vehicles are set within period-accurate scenes. You’ll walk past a general store, a barber shop, and even a jail while taking in an impressive line of Model Ts. With each step, it feels as if you are literally taking a stroll through time. It’s a fantastic concept, and I hope the owners continue to expand on these immersive displays. Whether you’re looking for a trip down memory lane or a glimpse into the past, plan to spend at least an hour here. It took us a bit longer than that, but since it is a self-guided tour, we felt no rush to leave. While I can’t recall the exact admission...

Hemlock Studio Gallery, Clarkesville, GA, Great Art Studio

Image
Since I am doing a review for an art studio, I felt that the photo should be "artsy". I used to dabble in photography in my younger days so I knew this would be fun. Because of my experience with photography, and because my wife and son both enjoy art, we always take time to enjoy an art exhibit when we travel. So, when we were in Clarkesville, Georgia over the summer, Hemlock art gallery was on our agenda. Hemlock Studio and Gallery did not disappoint. Located just off the town square, it looks small from the outside. But once inside the store, it is much larger than I expected. The owners of the store moved to Georgia from Maine; they were friendly, fun to talk to, and very knowledgable. They did not mind showing us around the gallery, but they also allowed us to browse at our own pace. The studio provided a wide variety of artistic pieces by local artists: photography, paintings, pottery, rock sculptures, woodworking, jewelry, stained glass, and much more. One of the coole...

Huntsville Space and Rocket Center Review, Father and Son Trip

Image
My son and I found ourselves in an unfortunate situation over the Christmas holidays; my wife had to work and we were both free. We usually take a family trip after Christmas so staying home after the holidays would simply be wrong. We have a rule around our house that we do not fret over the things we cannot change, we work through them. After discussing the plan with my wife, my son and I decided to pack our bags and take a short father-son road trip. After searching other nearby destinations, we decided on visiting the Space and Rocket Center located in Huntsville, AL. I had been to the Space center on an elementary-school field trip many years ago, knowing my son as well as I do, I knew he'd enjoy it too.  The Interactive exhibit -  We booked our trip online and also purchased tickets for two shows in the planetarium, I'll tell more about the planetarium later. We arrived an hour and a half prior to the first show which allowed us plenty of time to explore the interactive ...

Patriot Point Maritime Museum, Full Review, Charleston, SC

The Fighting Lady is Very Impressive Visiting Patriots Point , the nation’s oldest aircraft carrier museum was an awesome family experience. We visited on a very rainy morning in the fall but the weather cleared by lunch and we were able to enjoy the flight deck. The remaining clouds provided decent cloud cover, and as it turns out, they also provided a great backdrop for many of the photos.  Retired warplane located on the flight deck of the Yorktown CV-10 The USS Yorktown CV-10 , The Fighting Lady as she is referred to, is a retired World War II aircraft carrier. She is not plush or pristine, but at over 70 years old she is well taken care of and still very impressive. The inside of the USS Yorktown, CV-10 it is laid out similar to a museum. There are lots of military artifacts, scaled models, and several full-size airplanes. When you step out onto the massive flight deck, which is small by todays standards, you will be in the midst of even more full-size jets ...
