This is Lincoln's Tomb:
I felt honored to pay my respects to such a great man and president.
This is Lincoln's house. Its the only house the Lincolns ever owned. They have done a great job at preserving it. They even have the whole street preserved with his neighbor's houses as well.
Inside of the house...the desk in the corner was Lincoln's actual desk. The tour guide said he loved that desk. One time a leg broke and Mary threw it out. Abe found someone to fix it and brought it back in! Lots of great speeches were probably written on that desk. It seems really small for such a big man.
Us in front of the capitol...
at the Illinois state museum...
(which is free, by the way!)
The church we went to. It was beautiful!
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
One more post to do about our vacation...I'll try to get to it tomorrow.
Wordful Wednesday is hosted by Seven Clown Circus and Parenting by Dummies. Sorry, my links aren't working today. :(
