Since Lincoln and I had the time, we decided to visit Richmond Virginia--the old capitol of the Confederacy. This trip was very enlightening. After visiting the museums and graves, we really felt a stronger connection with the history of the Civil War.
I could not resist taking this picture: Lincoln, Lincoln, and some little boy...
We went to the Confederate museum. It was a great overview of the civil war and very interesting to see the war from the perspective of the confederates.
This picture shows a man's pants that have a whole from a gun shot wound, which was then cut further to amputate his leg.
Not quite sure what Lincoln is doing here...
And of course we took advantage and saw two more presidents' graves.
This is John Tyler:
And James Monroe:
And the president of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis:
This is the Virginia State Capitol Building
Lincoln and I also went to the Edger Allen Poe Museum. While we were there, some lady and a cameraman asked to interview me for Comcast on Demand. If you see me on tv, talking about the Poe museum, let me know!
And our favorite part was being able to visit friends. We stayed the night with the Trumps. Erin Webb Trump has been a good friend since Jr. High and I was so happy to spend time with her and her cute family!
I was also happy to see Chelsey Johnson Sanford (a good friend from high school and college). It was really good to catch up on the last 3 years!
