Yep, Neil & I are in the picture with the Lincoln Family, so I mus be a littleover 29, maybe 1/2
This is the Lincoln home.
We went on a tour of Lincoln's Tomb. We learned so much about him, the grave robberies, how many times he was moved and embombed. The wax figures we are pictured with, we so realistic looking you could almost see them breathing. We met Dale & Jim Ford at the cemetery and this time with them in the cemetery we didn't get locked in. We asked where a good place to have lunch would be. The people told us D'Arcy's Pint, the name was questionable at first, but we had food fit for King's. The specialty dish sounded gross, but everyone said it was wonderful and it looked good so we ordered, except Dale, she had a boring Rueben. We had a hambuger on a pc. of texas toast, covered with french fries, cheese sauce topped with bacon bits and deep fried jalapeno's. I had the pony version, Neil & Jim had the horseshoe version, and we brought enough home with us that it will be dinner tonight.

On Sunday, we went to the Lincoln Library, (which is a research library, and saw the pictures and then went back to the museum and saw a movie in the Union Theatre, that was the pres. years, and wars "Thru Lincoln's Eyes". Something you shouldn't miss when you go there.
We went to the Lincoln's Home which was a nice tour, and they allowed photos during this tour. At lunch time we again asked where to eat and were told that the "Cafe Brio" was good, and it was wonderful and the service was superb and beyond. The waitress told us we should miss New Salem, and on our recipt she gave us directions, so we decided to go there and see something different.
It was a really realistic village of log cabin homes, stores and blacksmith shops. Just when we decided to end our walk thru the town, we got to the gift shop and it began pouring down rain and when we left to go to the car we got soaked to the skin.
So tomorrow, we are off to Iowa and we will stop and see Dale & Jim Ford, and tell them what they need to go back to Springfield and see that they missed.
