This, friends, is the ranch house at the LBJ Ranch, also known as Lyndon B Johnson State Park & Historic Site. While LBJ (a great Texas democrat, lest we forget that such have existed) was president, this building was also informally known as the Texas White House. The county we’re viewing here, in case you’re curious, is Gillespie County :-). As you’ll deduce, the historic site includes an earlier incarnation of Air Force One; my cousins felt it might be fun to photograph me attempting a presidential-style wave from the stairs, with my nephew beside me after the tough flight 🙂
Hail to the chief! We owe LBJ a lot, and really, he’d have gone down in history as a truly great president if it hadn’t been for just one thing: the Vietnam War.

(so much world, so little time....) 
Thanks for the photos, Paul! Nice picture of the ranch house, and of you and cousin next to the old Air force One!
