On Tuesday of our Spring Break, we ventured to Fredericksburg, Texas. We were hoping to see two attractions in the area - Enchanted Rock and the Pacific War Museum. We were pretty sure all 3 of our boys would enjoy Enchanted Rock, and we were absolutely certain that K would love the museum, as he is still fascinated with any and everything military.
The day began with a little bit of worry. The forecast for our area (including Fredericksburg) was 80% chance of rain. We loaded up our car with all of our rain gear and a picnic lunch...the power of positive thinking. K complained the entire car ride. He couldn't figure out why we were still going. The best part is this...as we arrived at the state park, the rain stopped. It was cool and breezy, but probably the perfect weather for the hike. We were able to climb all the way to the top and back down for our picnic lunch without a drop of rain. As we left the park, raindrops hit the windshield. Hmmm...
On the way up the "rock" I asked J if it might be child abuse to bring a 2 year old all the way to the top. He just laughed, as Mighty was dragging all of us. At one point Mighty even said, "I'm going to ask Gran if she'll grow one of these rocks in her garden." We called her on the way out to let her know she better get busy performing a miracle. How wonderful to have your grandson actually believe you are capable of such things.
J brought the boys to the Nimitz Museum while I did a little shopping with Nan (you can't go to Fredericksburg without doing a little shopping). The museum was a big hit! The boys were very impressed with the real things on display...a submarine, jeeps, tanks, etc.
What a great way to spend a rainy day!
