Tank museum

Earlier in December, on a lovely chilly morning, Robert and I set off to visit the American Armoured Foundation Tank Museum in Danville. A pleasant drive, a long visit viewing many military uniforms, toys, guns, equipment, helmets, and of course, tanks. The museum does not allow flash photography, so some photos are a bit blurry.

These are bikes from the Swiss Army.

While in Danville, I recommend having lunch at Mary's Diner (at the recommendation of the nice lady who worked the gift shop at the museum) - cafeteria-style food and plenty of it. We had a delicious time there.
