We got a good mid morning start and headed into College Station to visit the George H Bush Presidential library. George'e mother said she did not know which of three names: George, Herbert, Walker to name her son. So she picked all three names. His presidential library is on the campus of Texas A&M. Everything is done on a big scale.
I liked this quote under his picture. I identify with it.
I am getting used to having a presidential desk to pose behind.
Here is another quote that I liked. One theme with all the presidential libraries is they comment how there lives were essentially pointed towards serving others. We usually think of Presidents the other way around, but from their point of view, they are serving us.
I think Elaine looks like she would fit right in driving this little puppy. It reminded her of Grand Pontiac she drove.
Here is the entrance stone to the library. In summary Bush's library brought back memories of the conflicts between a decent President getting caught having to go to war. But I always look on George H Bush as a decent man.
And off in the distance is the stadium for Texas A&M.
After the library we headed towards Georgetown which is just north of Austin, a two hour drive. After some doubts about the accuracy of Google maps we arrived at our campsite which was also lakeside at Cedar Breaks State Park, Lake Georgetown.
