FREDERICKSBURG - DAY 2

Variety -- sums up my second day in Fredericksburg! 

Rode my bike into town from campground (about 1.5 miles).
Pacific Combat Zone
One weekend each month, the Pacific Combat Zone offers a 90-minute reenactment of the Allied arms attack on the Japanese that includes the sights/sounds of a tank, Jeeps, and a working flamethrower.

WWII veteran is honored (as were other veterans)
Decided on a Reuben sandwich for lunch and found the perfect restaurant, The Auslander.

Reuben sandwich with a draft beer -- YES!
My decision to see a professional variety live-music matinee at the Rockbox, ended up being a fantastic idea.  Not only was the music GREAT, but the interjection of humor made for a lovely two hours.  
Rockbox Theatre is downtown
A nice surprise was seeing these bluebonnets on my ride back to Fredericksburg campground.  Residents have stated bluebonnets are not plentiful this season.
