George Bush Presidential Library
If there’s time during your visit, think about visiting the George Bush Presidential Library to see it decorated for Christmas. But most importantly, to see and read the stories about the wars, the great things that happened in the ’90s, the life and times of President George Bush, and the stories that will take you back a few years when presidents were nice to each other and supported one another!
