Today we headed to DeLorean Motors Northwest to see Toby and to pick up some parts that I had ordered. No good coming to the States without getting some DeLorean parts. Had a great couple of hours with Toby having a look around the shop and picking his brain a little about all things DeLorean.
From there we headed to the Boeing Factory and the Future of Flight Museum for a look. We love to do the Boeing factory tour which gives you a 90 minute tour of the factory to see 747's, 777's and 787's being made. It is an amazing site to see these beauties being made. The factory is the largest building by volume in the world.
The green coating over the aluminum is a protective coating that washes off in hot water to protect the plane before it's painted.
You can't take your camera on the tour so we only have photos from a distance which are taken from the roof of the museum. There was also a highlight after the tour seeing the Dreamlifter arriving and unloading completed tail sections for new 787 Dreamliners.
Once we got kicked out of the museum on closing we headed to Applebees for dinner which was just up the road a bit. From there we just headed back to Em's house.
Tomorrow we head to Portland Oregon for a day trip.
