George HW Bush Presidential Library

I looked at the map of Texas and noticed that the George HW Bush Presidential Library was only about an hour away from Houston in College Station, 
 so Kent and I headed there after we left the Lee's house.

It was very nice, with lots of interesting facts about his younger years and service in World War II.
There was a recreation of the Oval Office, so Kent took a turn sitting at the Presidential desk. 
  A quote from his inauguration in 1989.
Portraits of George and Barbara Bush.
The two Bush presidents.
Pres. Bush was president when the Berlin wall came down, so there's a section of it in his museum.


 I like the quote on this wall, which was on the outside of the building as we were walking to where George and Barbara are buried.
 Their daughter, Robin, who died when she was four, is also buried with them.
                            
We learned so much about George HW Bush's life. He worked for most of his life in public service. I always liked him, and now I admire him even more after visiting his Presidential Library
