Yesterday, LOML and I went to Fredericksburg with a couple of friends. I can't tell you how gorgeous this little town is - every single house is picture-postcard perfect, it seems. We'll have to go back and explore the town properly, because yesterday we were going to the National Museum of the Pacific War. Absolutely fascinating. After living in New Zealand, the Pacific theatre of WWII is particularly interesting, and the museum was just amazing. And comprehensive. And LONG (it took about four hours to get through it all), but worth it. We also explored the Combat Zone, where retired tanks, jeeps, artillery and torpedo boats are displayed.
The memorial garden.
New Zealand!
A WWII pamphlet encouraging women to join the Marine Corps. "A so-becoming forest green cap!"
The Vereins Kirche - a 1930s replica of the original 1840s church. And we're standing next to a tiny replica of the replica on a stick (no idea what that is for). It's all very meta.
I got a bit excited about this wooden Christmas tower, gifted to the church by the nation of Germany.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
