Shannon's Wild Texas NotebookJustin and I were very impressed with the amount of information and the quality presentations we received on our visit to the National Museum of the Pacific War and Admiral Nimitz State Historic Site. The size of the Nimitz Hotel on Fredericksburg's Main Street belies just how much there is to the museum and museum grounds!
