Fredericksburg

We're staying in Fredericksburg Texas.  It's in the Texas hill country.  This is a place where you can easily spend a month and not see everything.  There's several themes going on in the area. 
Wineries abound in the area. We're still drinking the wine from the last place we stopped, so we didn't stop.  But we could spend many lost days going from winery to winery.

Admiral Nimitz was born here.  There is a museum for the Pacific war that is supposed to be great and takes several days to see.  A tunnel full of 3 million bats is supposed to be great to see in warmer weather.  Hopefully we'll come back sometime and see these.

There are touristy things to see and do downtown.  Restaurants, beer halls, shopping.  The area has a German background so many of the building decorations and names are German.

Former President Lyndon Johnson lived in this area.  We visited the state and national park that had the place he was born, the ranch he used as the "Texas White House", and the cemetery where he was buried.  Very simple gravestone, not like some of the big memorials you see for other presidents.  Another cool thing was the plane that he used to fly into here.  Technically it was Air Force One, but he used to call it Air Force 1/2.  I was surprised to learn he died only 4 years after leaving office and was only 64.  Now that I'm closer to that age, it means more to me!

They also seem to like wind mills.  Not the ones that make electricity, but the 'purty' ones for tourists so it looks like a old farm or ranch.  They are everywhere.  The hotel across from our park has 2 of them.
