Today we were in Lincoln Land, Springfield, Illinois. We
went to the Lincoln Presidential Museum. It was very well done. They had great
exhibits and movies about Lincoln. Today was 157 years ago that Lincoln gave
his “A House Divided” speech. So a public reading of the speech was presented
with different people each reading a paragraph—Dan and Erin even participated!
We also visited Lincoln’s tomb, which has the president, his wife, Mary Todd,
and 3 of their 4 children. Then it was time to travel down to St. Louis. Along
the way, Dan saw a bunch of old cars, so we stopped. There were over 600 old
cars for sale. We enjoyed walking around them. (The kids were picking out what
car they wanted.) It rained quite a bit along the way. We have seen more rain
on this trip, then several years in California!)

Did you see Homer?? I don't think you did. Oh well. I guess Lincoln is more important.
