Today we continues west across Texas. We stopped in Lubbock at the American Windmill Museum. It was fabulous. they have more than 160 windmills on display, a big collection of miniatures, and several model train layouts. The captions and descriptions were all very interesting.
We also stopped at a couple of road side signs and at Billy the Kids grave. Tonight we are in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.
Today we drove from Bryan 100 miles west to the Texas capital, Austin. First we visited the LB J Presidential Library. Johnson accomplished so much in his 5 years 2 months in office. It was interesting to be reminded of it all. Johnson was a master persuader.
As we approached the library we passed an ICE raid in progress. Duke saw a Hispanic man in handcuffs.
Next we went to the state capital. It is big and we had a good 40 minutes tour. They have a special legislative session going on for redistricting.
Then we drove 175 miles northwest to Winters where we are tonight. it’s a tiny town of 2,500 people.
Today we we visited the George W. Bush Presidential Center and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and museum. The George W. Bush Center is in Dallas about 50 miles west of where we stayed last night. The museum was very well done it reminded us about all that happened during the eight years of his presidency and what a good man he was.
Next we drove about 190 miles south to the campus of Texas A & M University where we visited the George H.W. Bush museum.
There are 13 presidential libraries. Now we have been to 7 of the 13 Presidential libraries.
This morning very early we made two trips to the airport to deliver family members who were flying home. Then we packed up, left our VRBO, and headed west towards home.. we crossed Arkansas and drove a ways into Texas where we are staying in Greenville, about 60 miles from Dallas.
