In the meantime, I visited the Illinois Military Museum (which was closed) but I was able to photograph the static display outside the museum...
Then I went to the Abraham Lincoln Tomb, a very sacred place...
This is the temporary receiving vault where his body was placed for two months until being moved to a temporary tomb for seven years (while the final tomb was being constructed).
Then I visited one of the most bizarre museums I have ever seen... The Museum Of Funeral Customs... The first exhibit was this 1928ish embalming room... creepy!
This is a replica of President Lincoln's coffin.
When Deb was done, we drove by the Edwards Place on the way out of town... it is now an art
Today I am introducing a new blog feature - Quote Of The Day
While Deb was attempting to take a photo of this arch as we entered Ohio, the lens shade on her camera was reversed so that she could not reach the zoom ring... in a panic (as the arch approached at 65 mph) she screamed, "My zoomie, zoomie thingy won't zoom, dang it!"
Man, I love that girl!
