We heard from so many folks over the years about Fredericksburg that it was a mandatory stop on the way. Driving through the town to the RV park, you could tell by the names that Germans had settled here. The old downtown is quaint, with pretty buildings. The main attraction, however, is the National Museum of the Pacific War. Since Fredericksburg is the boyhood hometown of Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, the museum is also referred to as the Nimitz Museum.
Here is what I saw from the passenger seat along I-10 today:
We arrived at the RV Park, set up, had a quick cup of tea, and walked into town to the museum.

The museum is huge but we spent a couple of hours going through the exhibits before closing time at 5PM. It was overwhelming! There is so much more to see that we will be coming back on our return trip this way.
