A day in D.C.

Us boys at the Ford museum

Today my grandma took us boys to downtown D.C. to see a few museums and visit her friend Mrs. Connie Buford. We took the metro there this morning and visited the Ford's museum, where we learned about Abraham Lincoln's assassination and visited the theatre where he was shot. The museum had much information on the life of Lincoln in the form of both writing and videos. Across the street was the house where Lincoln died, and it had information about the manhunt for Lincoln's assassin. We had time to stop at the Freer art gallery. After lunch at the Foggy Bottom Circa Restaurant with Mrs. Buford, we headed for the National postal museum. The highlight for all was making our own stamps. The end of the day was topped of by dinner at Jimmy Johns with Uncle Mike and Aunt Caroline. Tomorrow we plan to visit Gettysburg, which will help us become experts on Lincoln and the civil war.
