Returning from first trip to Corvette Museum....
I just wanted to give an enthusiastic thumbs up to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
I loved the "corvette parking only" up front at the museum. Everything was overwhelming from all the pace cars, the 1983 vette, the bricks from the Flint, Mich. plant, the evolution of the tire, etc..... I could go on all day.
My 4 year old son was screaming and running from car to car like a madman which put a big smile on my face.
All in all, it was a great trip and I can't wait to go back and tour the plant as well. I did not have the heart to tour the assembly plant and leave him with his mom.
I highly recommend it to anyone. It did not disappoint in any way.

The Corvette Museum is really cool! I've been a couple of times and plan to go back this year with our new MY 2002. Sometimes they have a discount coupon at the KY rest stops which makes it even cheaper to go. It is worth the cost of admission either way!

It is a great place. I live about 2 1/2 hours away and I try my best to come up with some excuse to go to B.G. at least every month or so. 
My wife calls it my "mecca"!
If only they sold beer there, I would never leave!

I was there on Sunday before traveling on to Nashville and then the Smoky Mountains for the rest of the week. I plan on doing the family membership so my son and I can make it a "guys trip" from time to time.

The museum is a great place to visit and the plant tour is fun too.
Be sure to come for the Labor Day weekend bash.
