George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Dallas Texas

I visited George W. Bush's Presidential Library and Museum today.  The museum part was interesting and very well done.  It is not a large exhibit.  9-11, Iraq and Katrina overshadowed his 8 years.  I did learn about some programs he started that were not well know.  I did all four of the choices in the Decision Center and found that I agreed with him on 2 of the four.  This is Presidential Library # 6 of the 13 for me.  I recommend visiting if you are in the Dallas area.

Enjoying the Oval Office.  You can go in and enjoy the room.

The Decision Points area.  There are four situations you can follow and see what decision you would have made.

I had lunch in 43 (the restaurant).  Both the Service and the food were very good.

Texas

First day of my trip and I am in Dallas.  Tomorrow I go to the George W. Bush Presidential Library.  I had a few bumps in the road getting here.  For some reason when I updated my GPS it took every language except French Canadian off.  It still wrote and Texted English.  I had to turn the voice feature off.  I just got through getting English loaded back on.  The only free internet here is in the lobby so that is where I am right now.  The other bump.  I forgot my camera.  I have the cords and all accessories but no camera.  I stopped at a WalMart and purchased a $99.00 point and shoot for the trip so there will be photos.

More after I get back from the library tomorrow.
