If you’re looking for somewhere to take the family in your 2008 Nissan Altima, consider visiting The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum. The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is one of the lesser-known visitor attractions in the greater Philadelphia area. Located inside Hangar 1 of the Cape May County Airport, Lower Township, NJ, this museum honors the 42 naval airmen who died while training on that site during World War II.

Cape May County Airport is build on the site of a World War II Naval Air Base. Here, young pilots trained to fly the SB2C “Helldiver.” The Helldiver is an interesting and quirky piece of aircraft history. It’s been called “the worst airplane ever built” by pilots. Only the most brave pilots flew the Helldiver. The Helldiver sank more ships than any other plane during World War 2. On this site, they dive-bombed rivers and farm fields as they trained for the war.

The Aviation Museum isn’t only about the Helldiver, though. At Naval Air Station Wildwood, you can see a UH-1 Huey, a T-33 Thunderbird, an F14 Tomcat, and even a Coast Guard rescue helicopter. In addition to the actual aircraft, the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum features a large collection of aircraft engines, aviation artifacts, and military memorabilia.

Be sure to pack your camera in your Nissan Altima when you head toward the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum. There are plenty of interesting opportunities for photographs, and you’ll wish you’d brought it if you don’t. In addition, this museum actually encourages you to touch the aircraft they display, so bring a sense of curiosity, as well.

The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is open year-round. You can visit their web site for more information, to see pictures of some of their collection, and to find out what their hours are. You can also learn about how you can personally help the museum with your donation.

When you’re packing up the family in your new Nissan car, the kids are bound to get antsy. The easiest way to keep the kids in a good mood is to make sure you’ve got plenty of healthy snacks on hand. You want things that are kid friendly without breaking the bank or loading them up with sugar.

Here’s a list of snacks that are kid and parent approved:

Grapes — Green or purple grapes are a big hit with kids who are old enough not to choke on them. They’re probably the least sticky fruit, meaning the impact to your new Nissan car will be minimal. If you’ve got a cooler, try freezing them for hot days.

Prepackaged Raisins — Raisins are great because they’re a small snack, perfect for tiny hands. As the parent you can rest easy knowing that even if your kids dump the entire package on the floor of your car, all it takes is a quick vacuum to get your new Nissan car back to, well, new!

Natural Juices — Liquids in all capacities are scary for car owners with kids. It seems like there’s so much that can go wrong. The best way to go here is spill-proof sippy cups for the little ones and drink containers with built in spouts for bigger mouths. These limit the amount of spillage onto your upholstery.

Bagels and bagel chips — Probably the least crumbly bread product, bagels are great for car rides. This isn’t the place for peanut butter, though, so find a flavored bagel that tastes good just as it is. Bagel chips are great because you can package them yourself, saving the expense of the pricier packaged varieties from the store.

Granola bars — Like raisins, granola bars are great because even when they make a mess, it’s never anything a vacuum cleaner can’t fix. Granola bars are getting healthier these days, and most come in peanut free varieties to eliminate allergens.

If you’re taking your 2008 Nissan Altima to a theme park like Walt Disney World or Disneyland, there are some things you can do to make your trip go much more smoothly and be more enjoyable.

First of all, when you’re planning your trip, make sure you understand the theme park ticket policies. Make sure you know what options are available and which you bought. You’ll also want to keep your kids’ ages in mind. Many theme parks offer a variety of attractions for children (and adults, for that matter) of all ages. Finally, make sure you choose the time of year for your travel carefully. Some times of the year are busier than others, and some may have worse weather than others.

When you travel, make sure to travel safely and comfortably. Take a break every couple of hours to stretch. Consider packing a picnic lunch, rather than buying meals. Bring along some games that the kids can play in the car.

Once you get to the theme park, consider arriving early in the day. This will help you get a good parking spot. It’ll also help you get onto the rides that you want on early in the day. You’ll also want to take a break in the afternoon. If possible, go back to your hotel or resort, and come back to the theme park in the evening. Many theme parks feature fireworks or other special programs and attractions after dark.

Finally, make sure that you keep cool when you’re at the theme park. Wear cool clothes. Use comfortable and cool walking shoes. Bring or purchase plenty of water to avoid dehydration. If the theme park has a water park component, visit it during the 10 AM to 4 PM period, when the sun is at its hottest.
