We spent a day in Fredericksburg on a field trip. Our first stop was to go strawberry picking. It was a little brisk that morning, but there was a good crop of berries.
Here's the girl in her Moby wrap. I love that baby carrier. I wish I would have found this 3 kids ago.
We picked 14 pounds of strawberries. The boys did great, especially J. I had to give up picking after awhile. Trying to squat with 20 pounds strapped to the front of me became a little uncomfortable.
After berry picking, we headed into town to The Museum of the Pacific War. It's a museum dedicated solely to the pacific portion of World War II. J has been studying WWII so it was a great museum to see.
Admiral Chester Nimitz was also from Fredericksburg, TX so there was a section devoted to his life. He shares a birthday with J. He found that amusing.
Of course, the boys all found the artillery displays to be the most interesting.
J did all the photography in the museum. I couldn't handle the baby and the camera. He did a good job.
It was a wonderful museum.
Here's S trying to see in a periscope inside the mock up of a submarine.
We should return sometime with just J. W and S lost interest after about an hour. J commented that you could spend a long time in that museum. That's an understatement. We walked quickly through the end parts. I think it helped to cement the topics we had been learning.
There's was a whole section we didn't even make it to. We enjoyed the Presidents' Garden. They paid tribute to all the US Presidents who took part in WWII. It was a great visual for the kids. We had a good day! Looking forward to returning some day.
