If you have a chance to get out of town a touch try the Evergreen Air and Space Museum, home of the Spruce Goose, a Titan II missle, SR-71, B-17, a few space capsules, and various other goodies for aero-nuts.

The collection is fantastic but the knowledgeable volunteers really put it over the top. All are friendly and the level of detail was incredible. One gentleman walked me around the J58 (from the SR-71) and knew temps and pressures at various stages, cruise airflow etc. It was pretty damn cool...

btw... Voodoo is an experience, but the donuts aren't that fine.

For beer I'd recommend the Tug Boat, right downtown. Cool little pub with lots of crazy old books stacked to the ceilings...
