Though there were many attractions, we spent the day at National Museum of the Pacific War Complex. It included the Admiral Nimitz Museum, George H. Bush Gallery, Pacific Combat Zone, Veterans Walk of Honor and the Japanese Garden of Peace. The museum is housed in the Nimitz Hotel (from the 1850's to 1960), a steamboat-style structure built by Admiral Chester Nimitz's grandfather. It was an educational, but sobering experience.
We walked the main street which was packed with biergartens, restaurants and shops. We had lunch at Wheeler's restaurant. The chicken and dumplings were outstanding. Go there if you're ever in town. What Carol learned/confirmed: Texas chili has no beans.
We joined three Airstream camping couples we met on Monday for dinner at Auslander Biergarten. All were families from Houston who worked in the oil industry. They shared great stories.
We're off to Kerrville tomorrow.
