Land of Lincoln

We arrived in Springfield, IL on Sunday night and spent all day yesterday learning about Abraham Lincoln.

In the morning we went to the Lincoln home. The National Park Service has restored four city blocks to their 1860 appearance. We toured the Lincoln home and took lots of pictures.

In the afternoon we went to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum. They had a couple of great multimedia presentations and some self-guided "journeys" through the life of Lincoln. Again, really worth the trip. I can't believe we have never done this before (sorry, older kids:).

Here we are with the Lincolns at the White House (that's John Wilkes Booth over Andrew's right shoulder):
