Last weekend we took a little road trip down to San Antonio, making a few stops along the way. We had an extended weekend and were gone for 4 or 5 days. Our first stop was in Waco. The highlight of Waco was the Dr. Pepper Museum. For those of you who don't know, Dr. Pepper was invented in Waco. We went to the building where it was originally made and toured the museum.


Our next stop was Austin. The highlight of Austin was visiting the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Museum. Below is an exact replica of the oval office while he was President:



As some of the initial readers of our blog might remember, our second blog post was about our trip to the
Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Without comparison, the Reagan Library was tons better. The LBJ library really didn't have much in it, but it was mildly interesting anyway. It is now my goal to visit all of the Presidential museums sometime in the future. Sometime in the next year I want to visit the Nixon museum (there's two, the one in California) and the George H.W. Bush museum. Fortunately, the other Bush museum is going to be built in Dallas, so whenever that one comes, it will be an easy trip.
As we were on our trip, we made the occasional stops to let Blake stretch out his legs. One of his favorite things to do was stand on my lap and hold the steering wheel (while we were parked).


And finally, here is Blake hanging out in the Hotel bed watching TV with us in San Antonio.

We had a great time and Blake did great traveling around with us.

what a fun trip, I bet Blake would have been a great driver. :) When you coming to Utah again??
I didn't even know that they had presidential museums and libraries around the country. That would be cool to visit all of them. I also love how the highlight of Waco was the Dr. Pepper plant. :) Sounds like a fun trip. Looking at all of these adorable pictures of Blake, just make me want to hold him so badly!!!! He is so cute!!!
If you ever get a chance, the Lincoln Presidential Museum is amazing! It is in Springfield, Illinois. Alot of other great Lincoln sites in Springfield.
Blake is so cute. He is really growing!
Sounds like a fun trip! I especially love that pictures of Blake behind the wheel
