When a 5-year-old says her idea of something fun to do is a museum, you know her parents are doing something very right. Riley is seeing possibilities, and you are encouraging unlimited dreams for her future. Kudos!
Casey, you’re a very lucky man #1 to be able to spend the kind of time that you do with your daughter#2 your daughter enjoys being with you and having fun with you ,there’s no amount of money in the world that would ever take the place of that. You are rich beyond your wildest dreams.
I am at least 5 years into this slump where nothing goes my way. 🤣Having adventures with my own 5 year old daughter is definitely the best part of any week. 😀
Casey, thank you for promoting the Evergreen Aircraft museum. The building of this museum and getting the spruce goose moved from Long Beach California up to Oregon is a story in itself. This museum as a national treasure of just the spruce goose but all the other aircraft is in the place too. I've been to this museum three times and I could tell they rearranged the museum since I was there last. I have my own picture of trying to look like Howard Hughes sitting in the left seat at the controls. I found Howard Hughes was a little taller then I am , and has a smaller head than I do. The docent giving the tour upstairs didn't say anything about the hat it was sitting behind pilot seat, it was Howard Hughes hat. It looks like you and your daughter had a great time, so it wasn't a completely wasted day.
Riley is just such a lovely, bright and curious little sweetie pie! Puts my mind in my "Grand Daddy" mode :) Just love how the first thing she thought of was wanting to find a museum! Reminds me of being about her age and all the museums my parents took us kids to. Some of the cool stuff too our aunt was able to take us on, like a helicopter ride from JFK Airport to the top of the Pan-Am building in NYC. Or Aunties' taking us to her company's holiday party at a JFK Airport hanger with big cargo airplanes to explore inside and Santa Claus arriving by helicopter. Which is all to say how wonderful it is to give a child such lasting memories of exploration. Even at a young age these little journeys are lasting, they make a deep impression on their "Wonder Muscle"! How delightful to see a bummer of a 3 hour road trip rescued into a super father-daughter adventure! :)
I worked at the Hughes plant in Culver City in the 80's, when it was Hughes Helicopters. Three huge long buildings are at the center of the complex, side by side. One was used to build each wing, and one for the fuselage. The nearest harbor was Marina del Rey, but it was much too small for testing, so they went down to Long Beach. The plane had to be moved in those three separate sections about 25 miles and then assembled at the harbor. The most amazing statistic is that it had to go through 22 separate municipalities and townships, and only Howard Hughes had the political moxie to have them move three thousand utility wires out of the way on the roads between Culver City and Long Beach! I heard third hand from a coworker a story about a mechanic who was in the wing during the test run, to monitor the engines. It was only supposed to be a water taxi test, but when the mechanic heard the throttles go to full power, he knew Hughes was going to fly the darned thing, so he hurriedly scrambled back to the fuselage. It was also interesting to watch them build the geodesic dome that covered the plane in Long Beach. They first erected a big tower, and dropped cables to the ground. They attached them to a small ring on the ground, then lifted it a little, and attached the first dome layer, and then lifted that a little. This way they could work on each new layer from the ground, and then remove the tower when it was finished. In contrast to the end of his life, at his peak Howard Hughes was brilliant. The building I worked in was formerly a machine shop that was kept ready 24 hours a day. Whenever Hughes got an idea to work out, he would show up at any hour and work it out in the shop. You can also imagine the value of that land in oceanfront Los Angeles. Well, Hughes had his company organized as a Subchapter S Sole Proprietorship. A lot of the land was not buildable because of the proximity to the big runway, so he leased it out to pumpkin farmers. Not only did he not pay property tax on that part of the land (I was told), but he got an agricultural subsidy! On his death, those 946 acres sold for a million dollars an acre. It's now a residential development called Playa Vista. So glad you turned the day around!
I really appreciate someone who doesn't sugar-coat facts. The guy lied. The day with your daughter was precious though. You appreciate it now, but when you are much older I bet those golden moments turn to diamond!
In 1949 I was 7 & went to our local airport to an air show in Australia with basically ww2 type aircraft & have a photo of me hanging onto the wing tip of a P51 Mustang like I wanted to take it home. This resulted in my dreams turning into 35 years of flying from fabric & wood bi-plane to Airbus - a dream come true. Good on you Casey.
Hi Riley! You have such a beautiful smile! Sorry you were lied to like that, As you well know, people can be suck jerks, but thank you for making a wonderful day out of the mess you were handed and sharing it with us. Be safe and give Riley a hug for me please.
Very envious of your adventures with Riley, keep them coming! There is a very interesting story on how they got the Spruce Goose from California to Oregon including moving them along rivers and the final road trip which includes heavy equipment you have featured on your channel! Thanks again Casey for the awesome content, hope to get to that museum one day. 🙂
I saw that documentary about how they moved the Spruce Goose. Mind blowing how much effort they had to put out to pull that off without damaging anything. Amazing piece of history. I hope to tour it one day.
I was there at the air and space museum in the spring of this year. Photos in the pilots seat with H. H. hat. Lived in SoCal when it was in Long Beach, never was able to visit. Glad I finally visited this year. AWESOME!
Casey, you didn't just take your daughter on a long trip. You spent a lot of quality time with her. That I enjoyed the most about that video. This come from someone who never had a daddy. But my momma did her best and for that if I can grow up and be half the person my momma was. I'll be 10 times the man I am now.
Casey, you are absolutely correct! Spruce goose and everything else at the McMinnville air, museum best to seen the in person! Should be on everyone's bucket list
Back in the 80’s & 90’s I. Was doing California trips as a tour bus operator and stayed one night on the Queen Mary ship that had been converted to a hotel. Next to the Queen Mary was the Spruce Goose. It is huge and is amazing that it could actually fly, although how far we will never know. The story of why it was built and why it never went into service is just as interesting.
You're right that no picture of the outside of the spruce goose can do justice to it's size, but that first interior view made me think "holy crap, that looks like a movie theater" . Great father/daughter adventure.
Seeing you and your baby girl doing this kind of stuff reminds me of when my kids were little enough and just as enthusiastic as RyeRye is doing these kind of things. Enjoy these moments because they grow up so fast you will blink then she will be a teenager.
Last time I was up there they were just building the Space Museum, they had the SR-71 parked under the Spruce Goose!, I need to get up there and see the Space side!, the Evergreen Museum is SUPPER COOL!
What a great Father/Daughter adventure. As a former school teacher, I wish more parents did this. As a former airline pilot, after watching you two do it, I wish I had paid the extra $ to do the cockpit tour when I visited there. All in all, a great vlog.
Well the trailer part was a huge disappointment , but I guess that is to be expected for an "Internet" trailer! 😉.. BUT as always you took Lemons and make some Great Lemonade from it! The time that you spent with Riley and the memories that you made are priceless. Thank you for taking us along Casey and Riley! 👍💯
Your ability to take a downturn and turn it into a truly special day for your daughter speaks volumes about you, Casey. I'm on the other side of the state and keep thinking that I need to quit stalling and go over to the Museum to wander for a day or two, so I am totally jealous of the two of you! Her enthusiasm for museums is contagious 🙂
The best youtube post ever, the interaction between you and Riley, the Spruce Goose, your philosophical approach to being dudded etc, all made up to one great episode, Thank you Casey, no wonder I am always on the lookout for your posts!
I hardly know what to say. Or I should say, I do not know how to put into words what I am feeling. Such a beautiful video to watch. Cherished memory's of a wonderful day out with Daddy that Riley can keep, and watch again and again 💞
I have learned to never trust peoples ads, learned that lesson finally after buying my current truck and having the engine conk out 1 month into owning it. Also, btw if you didn't know, the original wright flyer is actually in the National Air and Space museum in D.C.
Casey, you are absolutely right about the video not showing how big that plane is. Even when you are standing in it , it’s almost unbelievable that it actually flew. Some times a bad day can turn out awesome. Long ride for you an Riley ,but worth every minute. She will never forget the day with dad in the big truck .
My grandma always told us you'll get exactly what you're looking for if you focus on the negative of any situation you'll have alot of bad days if you look for the positive in any situation you'll have a happier life grandpa had words of wisdom too but I don't think I can share them they probably violate community standards
You got jacked around on the trailer! But you had a fun day with Riley seeing things a lot of people never see! The largest plane I have ever seen is the B-52 when I was in the service!
I saw the Goose in 1987 at Long Beach. You entered in a room with a screen showing its history and then the screen lifted up to reveal the real plane very spectacular!
Oh wow. I wondered where it was these days. We visited the spruce goose back in the 80s, when it was still parked by the Queen Mary, on a holiday to the US from the UK.
I remember watching the video of them moving the Spruce Goose from long Beach to the Evergreen Museum. Very interesting. Quite the engineering and logistics feat.
That is one my buck list of places to visit. Love the videos of you turning a bad day into a great day. Your daughter will not remember why you were there, but she will forever remember that you took her there!. That is what life is about.
What a rad field trip for Riley. I too have a photo of me and my bestie sitting in this cockpit circa 1989 and it was still in Long Beach. And we both ended up in Oregon (me and Spruce Goose) years later. By no means am I qualified to assess a trailer but haggard seems accurate desciptionfor this one. what a fun day! this was the best ever video about this museum and now I want to go!
Well, that adds a destination to the next chance I have to get out west. I may even be able to do it fairly soon. Looks like that was a very special father/daughter day.
I miss the old Goose. I used to go visit her often. I loved seeing her sitting at the edge of the harbor she once flew above, proving all of those people wrong. I still think it's a shame she no longer resides in Long Beach. The Queen Mary is still holding down the fort but the Spruce Goose dome was converted into a Carnival Cruise Line terminal. At least she's being well taken care of.
Wow! Are You ever lucky to get a detailed view of the Spruce Goose. Best info I ever herd on it as well & can't believe the amount of fuel it held. From inside, one could see just how big it is when looking down that wing. Howard Hughes sure figured it out well. I'll bet Your Daughter will never forget that experience.
Hi Cary, I worked in that area a few years back. They were just starting to build that museum when I was there. Wanted to get back to check it out when it was finished , just haven't got their yet. Guess I'll have to drive out there now that I'm retired. Like to see you get to spend time with your daughter. 8/31/23
Been there three times and will be going back again. An amazing collection of aviation history. The flight museum in Seattle is also a very good collection of aviation history.
Thanks for taking us along and i had an awesome time too. Seeing a place i will never see in person was totally cool and the Spruce Goose, wow what a bonus. Riley is going to remember this day with her dad always. Peace Out.
That is super cool to see the SR 71. I got to see one of those land along with a B2 bomber land at Wright Patt. Airforce base. The SR 71 flew right over the road I was on and it was awesome. I'll never forget it.
Great job dad! They had a summer hire program & I got to work a few summers handing out tools to people working on the SR 71. I knew the man running the program very well. His story is quite interesting, but I doubt you'd find it anywhere among "the official stories". Much later I would take groups of employees on tours of the maintenance operations in Palmdale that ended with a trip to the end of the runway to watch the plane take off over our heads. Very impressive looking up the tail pipes with the afterburners lit! Regardless of what created this extended time with Riley (?) you'll appreciate and remember these times together forever! Stay safe and have lots of fun together!
That is an amazing museum. I was there in June while on vacation. Just happened to drive by and came back later. The Spruce Goose is the star. Lots of other cool stuff to see.
Sooo cool, Casey! And what a great father/daughter day! More, more, please. Riley has her dad's hands. She is a beautiful little girl. She will make a great big sister:-) ❤😊
Just watched your vist with your daughter to the air and space museum. I was there in May of this year. It is everything you said it was. That you had your daughter with you is precious. Thanks for video.
That's awesome Casey!! When I was about 10 (so 40+ or- years ago) I got to see the Spruce Goose (and the Queen Mary) back when they were in Long Beach. An amazing aircraft!! Good on you for making the best of a bad day and getting to spend quality time with your daughter!!
Love the Howard Hughes pose, Riley! The Spruce Goose used to be parked in Long Beach, CA by the Queen Mary before it was purchased for this museum. Even sitting near the Queen Mary the Spruce Goose looked huge. Thanks for taking us along on your daddy-time tour with Ms. Riley.
Casey, great video. It is amazing spending precious time with your daughter. I appreciate the tour of the museum. I had a chance to see the Black Bird loaded on several trucks hauling it to the museum. I was at the old Burns Brothers truck stop by Wilsonville. I'm glad to get to see it once again.
This hole NASA garbage is a LIE
Pinning this comment purely to be entertained by the responses that are sure to follow 😂
*whole
Are you a flat earther
This afternoon, I struggled to get a phone signal. I wished we still had that 60s technology that could call the moon using a landline.
did no one take you to museums ??
When a 5-year-old says her idea of something fun to do is a museum, you know her parents are doing something very right. Riley is seeing possibilities, and you are encouraging unlimited dreams for her future. Kudos!
How a father treats his children says volumes about them. Great job Casey!
Casey, you’re a very lucky man #1 to be able to spend the kind of time that you do with your daughter#2 your daughter enjoys being with you and having fun with you ,there’s no amount of money in the world that would ever take the place of that. You are rich beyond your wildest dreams.
The enthusiasm to get to a museum is just lovely!
The best thing about this video is the father/daughter bonding you have that makes it the best day ever! ❤👍💯percent
I am at least 5 years into this slump where nothing goes my way. 🤣Having adventures with my own 5 year old daughter is definitely the best part of any week. 😀

I loved that place when we visited it. I’m glad she was so excited to go there. What a great Daddy-Daughter time.
Riley, thank you for the tour.
I'm 36 and I'm completely jealous of Riley's day with dad. So cool!!!
I really appreciate someone who doesn't sugar-coat facts. The guy lied.

Casey, your daughter is so precious. There is an innocence and sweetness in her that is refreshing. I adore her. 🙏❤️🤗
I was there at the air and space museum in the spring of this year. Photos in the pilots seat with H. H. hat. Lived in SoCal when it was in Long Beach, never was able to visit. Glad I finally visited this year. AWESOME!
I am glad you can spend the time you do with your daughter, you are a lucky man!
I got to say your daughter is a jewel! And so smart for her age. Enjoy these times they grow up fast.
Casey, you didn't just take your daughter on a long trip. You spent a lot of quality time with her. That I enjoyed the most about that video. This come from someone who never had a daddy. But my momma did her best and for that if I can grow up and be half the person my momma was. I'll be 10 times the man I am now.
She will always look back and remember and smile

Father and daughter day is very important.
❤️…. She’ll remember always !

So true🥲. I blinked and now my son and daughter are happily married with children of their own. Now the grandkids are growing up too fast.
My oldest turns 30 in a couple months and it doesn't seem that long ago when my kids were their kids ages time can sure get away quick
Last time I was up there they were just building the Space Museum, they had the SR-71 parked under the Spruce Goose!, I need to get up there and see the Space side!, the Evergreen Museum is SUPPER COOL!
McMinnville OR. Very cool place to see planes. I lived about 18 miles away & worked in Sherwood.
What a great Father/Daughter adventure. As a former school teacher, I wish more parents did this.
As a former airline pilot, after watching you two do it, I wish I had paid the extra $ to do the cockpit tour when I visited there.
All in all, a great vlog.
Very cool museum I've taken the kids there when they were young

What makes that SR-71 extra special is that is a SR-71 B. It has a back seat... it was a trainer.
I hardly know what to say. Or I should say, I do not know how to put into words what I am feeling.
Such a beautiful video to watch. Cherished memory's of a wonderful day out with Daddy that Riley can keep, and watch again and again 💞
I had an Air Force buddy (Dave Gates) that after retiring, volunteered at that museum. He loved it!
I have learned to never trust peoples ads, learned that lesson finally after buying my current truck and having the engine conk out 1 month into owning it. Also, btw if you didn't know, the original wright flyer is actually in the National Air and Space museum in D.C.

Valuable life lesson - make something good come from disappointment! Good job Casey!
Or in other words: when life gives you just lemmons - make lemonade! 😛
My grandma always told us you'll get exactly what you're looking for if you focus on the negative of any situation you'll have alot of bad days if you look for the positive in any situation you'll have a happier life grandpa had words of wisdom too but I don't think I can share them they probably violate community standards
Riley is old enough to remember this wonderful day with her Dad forever! Thanks for sharing.
You got jacked around on the trailer! But you had a fun day with Riley seeing things a lot of people never see! The largest plane I have ever seen is the B-52 when I was in the service!
You certainly found the silver lining Casey! Great job. Your Daughter is lucky to have such a great Dad.
Saw the SR71 and the space shuttle at the Hazzy Center in Dulles. Super cool.
Such an impressive aircraft to see in the video
I saw the Goose in 1987 at Long Beach. You entered in a room with a screen showing its history and then the screen lifted up to reveal the real plane very spectacular!
Great tour of the Spruce Goose.
Oh wow. I wondered where it was these days. We visited the spruce goose back in the 80s, when it was still parked by the Queen Mary, on a holiday to the US from the UK.
I remember seeing the SR71 Blackbird I was able to visit the museum back in my west coast trucking days. I delivered a jet engine out there
Awesome video, spend every second you can with her while you can
Casey's Autocorrect knows him too well. "I'm internet in the trailer" 🤣🤣
I remember watching the video of them moving the Spruce Goose from long Beach to the Evergreen Museum. Very interesting. Quite the engineering and logistics feat.
sometimes those unexpected left turns turn out to be life long memories, what a blessing to be able to spend so much time with your daughter Casey!
WoW you give your daughter wonderful days. Hope she remembers them when you get old.
Thanks for the Goose tour and your daughter enjoying her day. You are a fortunate man.
Thanks for the video, I saw the spruce goose in Long Beach California. We did not get to see all the things on it you showed us.
Great video of you making memories with your daughter ❤ well done
This video makes my day. It is great that you can spend time with your daughter they grow up to quick. Thank for posting this video. 👍❤❤🧡💛💚💙
That is one my buck list of places to visit.
Love the videos of you turning a bad day into a great day.
Your daughter will not remember why you were there, but she will forever remember that you took her there!.
That is what life is about.
@Casey a very good Father daughter day video, also glad to see something good happened while in my area.😊
That was an awesome tour!!!
Good morning Riley too! Another field trip! YAY!!
What a rad field trip for Riley. I too have a photo of me and my bestie sitting in this cockpit circa 1989 and it was still in Long Beach. And we both ended up in Oregon (me and Spruce Goose) years later. By no means am I qualified to assess a trailer but haggard seems accurate desciptionfor this one. what a fun day! this was the best ever video about this museum and now I want to go!

At least she's being well taken care of.
Don't forget the 4 waterside out of a 747 on top of the third building!
that was one epic trip!!! I am super jealous and have always wanted to see the Spruce Goose.....thank you for this video!!!
Way to save the day Casey.
Love how you’re giving your daughter some memories.👍
Casey, you are a great dad! 👍🏻 Reminds me of trips to the Air n Space Museum in DC we would take our boys to. Great memories. ❤️
Great video I was totally entertained thank you and your daughter👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Like to see you get to spend time with your daughter. 8/31/23
Nice job Casey, it's time well spent.
Been there three times and will be going back again. An amazing collection of aviation history. The flight museum in Seattle is also a very good collection of aviation history.
Thanks for taking us along and i had an awesome time too. Seeing a place i will never see in person was totally cool and the Spruce Goose, wow what a bonus. Riley is going to remember this day with her dad always. Peace Out.

Fantastic airplane, I have been fortunate to visit it long time ago when it was still on display in Long Beach (Ca).
Awesome video. The tour through the museum was really good. Good tour through the Spruce Goose. Another good Daddy daughter day.
I went in it when it was in Long Beach. Awesome.
I did not know that museum was there! I'll have to go explore it when I visit my daughter in Corvallis.
That is an amazing museum. I was there in June while on vacation. Just happened to drive by and came back later. The Spruce Goose is the star. Lots of other cool stuff to see.
Sooo cool, Casey! And what a great father/daughter day! More, more, please.
Riley has her dad's hands. She is a beautiful little girl. She will make a great big sister:-) ❤😊
I remember when The Spruce Goose was in Long Beach next to The Queen Mary. …… Building a lifetime of memories
Just watched your vist with your daughter to the air and space museum. I was there in May of this year. It is everything you said it was. That you had your daughter with you is precious. Thanks for video.
That's awesome Casey!! When I was about 10 (so 40+ or- years ago) I got to see the Spruce Goose (and the Queen Mary) back when they were in Long Beach. An amazing aircraft!! Good on you for making the best of a bad day and getting to spend quality time with your daughter!!
Lemon into lemonade. Awsome day. Wish I lived closer to that museum, love planes and that stuff.
The SR-71 Blackbird and the X-15 are my all time favorite rocket-planes, ever!
Love the Howard Hughes pose, Riley! The Spruce Goose used to be parked in Long Beach, CA by the Queen Mary before it was purchased for this museum. Even sitting near the Queen Mary the Spruce Goose looked huge. Thanks for taking us along on your daddy-time tour with Ms. Riley.
As a daughter of a Dad who did so much of this with me, I can promise these will be some of her best memories….
Awesome video and great memories. Enjoyed the tour.
Casey, great video. It is amazing spending precious time with your daughter. I appreciate the tour of the museum. I had a chance to see the Black Bird loaded on several trucks hauling it to the museum. I was at the old Burns Brothers truck stop by Wilsonville. I'm glad to get to see it once again.
Great trip . Silver lining from the bad stuff.. As a dad of 2 grown daughters... Enjoy those daddy daughter times. They are wonderful.
One would almost think Riley LIKED learning. OMG ! =)
