After the graveside service, some of us went over to see Lincoln's Tomb (Grammy had wanted us to see it).
Supposedly, it was good luck to touch his nose -- that's why it's shiny ;)
The tomb interior
I was fascinated by this tomb (I jokingly called it "Stonehenge") across the way -- be we didn't go over to see it
Cousin Richard and Dad
Uhh?
Next: walking to lunch!
Fun visiting! :)
I loved all the old buildings!
Trying to find the Lincoln museum!
Andrew, the pro photographer ;)
A huge THANK-YOU to Uncle Ken for buying our tickets for the museum!
;)
These gowns were worn by Mary Lincoln's social rivals
Quite impressive
Anti-Lincoln cartoons of the period
A plaque mentioning the death of the Lincoln's son in the White House.
I did not know that Mary Lincoln had a half-brother who fought on the Confederate side -- did you?
There were two REALLY impressive theater productions!
