The first part of it was the history of the relationship of Japan with China with America etc… Then you walked into a room and listen to the events prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. When that was over the doors open and you step into another room that had a submarine in it and informational boards… Then the room grew dark, the bombs started dropping, film clips started that showed the destruction and the devastation of Pearl Harbor. You heard the voices and heard the despair. I want to tell you I wasn’t ashamed to be standing there with tears running down my face, I wasn’t the only one. It was intense.
The museum is what it says it is….. It covers the Pacific War from beginning to end. I did not allow myself enough time to really explore and I regret that. So I am going back and I will spend the day.
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was born in Fredericksburg. There is a museum honoring him as well that I would like to see.
We took the time to walk to the cemetery while there. It was late when we left and didn’t make it to San Marcos until after dark. We ate our dinner at Luby’s and then headed to the park. Tuesday the van goes in to have the furnace fixed. We are hoping to be hippo hunting by the weekend. Our fingers are crossed.
