We stopped at Luckenbach, looked around and listened to live music. It was very unique. And no, Willie and Waylon were not there, Dang it.
Our next stop was the Lyndon B. Johnson State and National Park. We ate our picnic lunch, then visited the Sauer-Beckmann Farm, a living/history museum farm in the State Park. It is the home of the midwife that assisted with LBJ's birth. We walked through the barn, blacksmith shop, and the house and saw sheep, chickens, roosters, and a hog while walking the grounds.
Riding in the working LBJ Ranch in the National Park was awesome. There were deer, cows, horses, donkeys, goats, and buffalo in the pastures.
We were able to actually walk inside and look at Air Force "One Half". Pretty Cool!
Many of the Johnson's cars were on display, along with a golf cart, fire truck, Amphicar, and an All Terrain Hunting Vehicle that was equipped with a wet bar and gun rack.
We had a very informative, walking tour of the Texas White House. Unfortunately, we could not take photos. We learned a lot of personable things about LBJ and Lady Bird Johnson. Very Impressive!
Our last stop was the cemetery where LBJ and Lady Bird are buried.
It was a nice 8 hour day riding the Hill Country of Texas today. It was cool enough to need a light jacket. We had so much fun today that Amber's head lights came on before we got home. It is very unusual for us to be on the road at dark.
A bunch of pictures today:
