LBJ "Library" and Museum

Seems like I have been getting cabin fever lately. My adventurous side has been stuck in the house too long because of cold weather and a little one with a cold.

So, since Summer is much better, my goal was to find something to do that did not require being outdoors in the cold.

One of the attractions here in Austin is the LBJ (Lyndon B. Johnson) Library and Museum. Of course with the name having the word "library" in it, it was not ever on the top of my list of things to do. I can go to a library anytime I want.

Boy was I surprised to find out the LBJ Library was not your typical library. It was much more of a museum than a library. I was very impressed considering the mental picture I had in my head of what I would be visiting. It turned out to be a very interesting place. Summer even asked if we could go back tomorrow which is really strange for her because it was more of a political museum than anything.

Although, it will probably be one of those places we only visit once a year, I do give it a thumbs up.

I don't have many pics of the inside of the museum. They were weird about cameras in there.....no flash allowed. I wonder what the meaning of the no flash thing is...

I don't know what this had to do with a library or LBJ, but it was in front of the museum.

These things were really creepy. There were a few of these beings around the museum....the one of LBJ was really realistic, he was talking and moving.




Here is Summer comparing her weight on Earth to what she would weigh on other planets.
