We got kinfolk visitin' Moonshine Mountain this week. Yesterday we went out to Fredericksburg and visited the Nimitz Museum. You may ask yourself, why a museum dedicated to the commander of the US Pacific fleet during WWII in the middle of the Texas Hill Country? Well, turns out Admiral Nimitz was born right there in Fredericksburg, the German-est town in Texas. On the way back to town, we stopped in at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Yes, if you haven't guessed, it's a week chock full of sights and events here on Moonshine Mountain I would probably never even know about otherwise. But my usual tour of dive bars isn't gonna cut it, so this is a good excuse to see my home from the touristy perspective. Coming up next: bat-watching cruise! Stay tuned...
