We are hanging out in Albuquerque, waiting for parts from Tiffin so we can get the slideout awning cover replaced. Today, we visited The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. Jimmy was in heaven! I took lots of pictures, but will only post a few.

The "Gadget"
This is a picture of shadows - all that is left of the people that had been standing there (Hiroshima)
Picture of a tricycle a little boy had been riding when the bomb hit; he died that night.
Minuteman Mk5 re-entry vehicle for the W59 thermonuclear warhead. This actual one was shot into outer space in the 1960s & recovered to test the heat shield. You can see the blistering.
Rocks and barbed wire from the Berlin Wall. Colors from graffitti.
Parts of a submarine being restored

Think this is our friend, Reg's old plane! ??
