LINCOLN

today was Lincoln day..first we spent the morning at the Lincoln home which is the national park..toured the home and watched a movie.. off to lunch then to the NEW Lincoln museum where we spent over 3 hrs...it is a place that we would recommend to anyone who gets to springfield , il... the museum is fairly new not sure when it opened up but well worth it..and cause we bought a presidential museum pass for all the ones that the national archives is in charge of we got in for half price 6 instead of 12 but for seniors it would have been 9..so right now we are ahead as far as money goes..the price of the Eisenhower pass (where we got it) was 30$ and we not only did eisenhower but also Truman now Lincoln...there are a couple more on our list to see this coming winter..jimmy carter in Atlanta and maybe bush's in dallas...we are ahead of the entrance fees I do not like going around Atlanta but I guess I will have to put up with it and also dallas..I just don't like big cities and their traffic...ugh..
