While Daddy was suffering through finals this semester, we went to the National Portrait Gallery/American Art Museum and Ford's Theater. We went with Michelle and Gabbi Prince and Emily and Abby Hamilton.
The National Portrait Gallery is connected to the American Art Museum and we spent some time wandering through that building. There are some really cool things there. License plates from the 50 states the spell out the preamble to the constitution:
The wanted poster from Lincoln's murder:
Portrait of Joseph Smith:
Portrait of George Washington:
This was a really cool museum to visit. This is about how much you were into it:
Abby on the other hand was loving it:
That day we also went to Ford's Theater where President Lincoln was shot. We saw a museum about the assassination, the coat Lincoln was wearing when he died (the man was huge!), and a really well done presentation about the assassination. I was a little disappointed to find out that the theater was a recreated after being gutted and turned into an office building. But that's alright. The recreation was good and it was still neat to be there.
The two of us along with Michelle and Gabbi before the presentation:
You and Gabbi did alright during the presentation, even though you two did make a little noise (mostly happy noise) which earned us some glares from other people. Abby on the other hand decided she wanted to be outside running up and down stairs rather than be in the theater.

This is the two of us in front of the box where President Lincoln was shot. The box is decorated like it was that night.
