Another visit to Mohai

I was able to take a little more time on this visit to Mohai, taking in more details of this amazing place. There are so many memories behind all those exhibits. I made two attempts at Slo-Mo-Shun, the hydroplane hanging from the ceiling, taking too much time to really get the story behind it.

 Lincoln's Toe Truck is self-explanatory. Definitely a Seattle Icon.

Toe Truck - Seattle's Museum of History and Industry

My wife works for the Puget Sound Blood Center who had their annual awards and holiday dinner at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI). If you grew up in or around Seattle, you surely saw (on your way to the Seattle Center) the pink Lincoln's Toe Truck parked just off the Mercer exit.

That blast from the past now resides just inside the entrance to MOHAI and for this event, the backdrop to a no-host bar.
