We wanted to show Al more of the delights of the Hill Country, but that meant some driving, so we decided that I would stay at home with our menagerie and N would take Al out into the hills. They visited Wimberley and Fredericksburg and saw a lot of country during a long day’s drive. Al declared the highlight of the day, however, was the Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg.
Admiral Chester Nimitz was born in the Hill Country town of Fredericksburg, so to honor his service and achievement, the community created the Admiral Nimitz Museum in the Nimitz Hotel. What began as a tribute to one man has changed its scope, for the museum is now called the National Museum of the Pacific War, the only national institution in the continental states dedicated to telling the stories of the Pacific Theater battles. You can take a virtual tour of the museum through their website:

After a week of cool weather and rain, the day was sunny and warm, and we celebrated with our first dinner eaten in the casita.
