LBJ Ranch

My grandma has always wanted to see the LBJ Ranch, so after shopping in Fredericksburg, we went to Stonewall, Texas to see it....I have to say, that it was really wonderful seeing a part of history and driving along his trails. He lived right along a river's edge and in hill country, so it was like a scene off of a post card. It is still a working ranch, so there were cattle everywhere. You get to see his airplane hangar where Air Force One would drop him off, the family cemetery, and go inside the house.

You drive around most things, but there is a tour guide that takes you into the house. He gave Jackson a compliment after the tour for being so well-behaved.....He did really good listening to the man talk! Jackson loved the names Ladybird, Lucybird, and Lindabird...he laughed so hard everytime he heard those...Grandma and Jackson were then putting "bird" on every name they could think of, so Jackson was calling us Mamabird and Daddybird!

This is a view of the front of the house, The Texas White House. It overlooks the Perdinales River.

We then drove into Gruene, Texas where the oldest Texas Dance Hall is....this town is so cute! Willie Nelson, Pat Green, and Robert Earl Keen all played here and started their careers!

We ate at Adobe Verde, a Mexican Food restaurant on the Guadalupe River

Jackson played on the playground after dinner...this town has so many huge trees and is very shaded! Lots of cute shops and stores!

Here is Jackson carrying his shopping bag after a full day!
