Thread: Texas Independence Day Celebration 2012 Washington the Brazos

On Saturday March 3, we went to see the celebration of the 176th Anniversary of signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico at Washington on the Brazos.

We went early to look for two geocache's in the park, found one (see the slide show) but the other was missing (and the park is aware of that). We wandered around the pond and nature trail before heading up to all the activities We stopped first at the camp near the Brazos river overlook, meeting some friends from Montgomery, we started walking around



After the camp headed up hill to the LOUD firing demonstration, which include small arms and artillery




We wonderered over to another camp and Anson Jones kitchen (quick who was Anson Jones ???) and the walked to Barrington farm and listened to some music



Lots of demonstrations going on and crafts all over.
Got to meet Tippy and Tex the oxen
then walked back up for Turkey Leg, blooming onion and sausage some good eating

after we toured the neat gift shop $$$ then the museum
great time highly recommend this for all, they have another event on March 17 I believe
