Today we visited Fredericksburg and the National Museum of the Pacific War and Admiral Nimitz Museum. We spent several hours in the museums and the outside grounds. One picture is of Judy beside a set of torpedo tubes, the round cabin of the top is where sailors controlled them, in the other pic she's standing in a small flower garden at the museum. There was a History Channel premier showing of the documentary USS Enterprise CV-6 which was good but there were 5 WWII vets there that served on the Enterprise during WWII! You can just see them standing in the back of the last picture. Two of them were pilots, one fighter and one torpedo bomber. The second pilot actually was in the Battle of Midway and attacked and help sink two Japanese aircraft carriers that had attacked Pearl Harbor! He was 92, all of them spent time telling of their experiences and answering questions.
You just had to love todays weather, 80 and all sun! Fredricksburg is a German tourist town so we had a great jager schnitzel dinner before returning home for the night.
