#90 Visit a Historic Museum

First of all, I am not a history buff or anything, but I just think this is something that should be done at least once in your lifetime. There are so many important things that have taken place in this country, let alone in the state of Texas, that have helped us come to where we are today.

I visited the Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX this past weekend and I have to admit, I actually enjoyed myself, (and felt a little patriotic, too!) The museum took us through the life of Admiral Nimitz, Pearl Harbor and then ended off with a section for President Bush, SR.

I have also been to the JFK Museum in Dallas, TX and it was very interesting. I had to go with a class and do not think I got the experience I could have truly had. I plan on going through the museum over the Christmas holiday so I can hopefully appreciate and understand it better.

Mollie noted some great places to visit in D.C. in her blog which are very helpful. I know her historical points hit outside of Texas, but I am going to suggest a few places within the state with this site., (since going outside to the rest of them would take a long time!) Let’s try to be reasonable and find out more about those Texas roots!

Take a step back in time,
