Highlights from the Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum

I seriously don't want to spoil it for you - but it's a must see!

Absolutely amazing and needs to be on your bucket list.

It goes from boyhood to President.

(Ahem-my hubby's best side 😉 ).

 Mrs. Keckly and Mrs. Lincoln is the name of the book

written by Mrs. Keckly. They were friends until they weren't sadly.

It's a very good read.

 The Lincoln house in Springfield...

You get a tour with a ranger and of course I have inside shots.

You need to go see for yourself.

Amazing from a log cabin to middle class America.

A self-taught lawyer and legislator - then President.

How cool is that.

Going through Tennessee

We went by the Lincoln Museum and of course

we had to stop.

There's a university attached - or vice versa.

 When you first walk in - this statue of

a younger Lincoln greets you.

 There was quite a bit of memorabilia for a small museum

although much as not original.

And that was fine with me - it was just so neat to see it.

 Made it to the parents place

and spent my time chasing hummingbirds.

They're quick lil buggers and this was the only decent one.

Of course my settings were wrong.

 Had a great time with grillin' and chillin'

 On the way out of town we stopped at and blew through

the Chicamauga & Chattanooga Military Park.

Chicamagua battle was the last major confederate victory.

Its a beautiful ride - since we had a destination - we stayed on

the main road.

(all photos shot through the window).

Saw the youngest son.

We made a duckface.

HEADED HOME TOMORROW

AFTER 2 MONTHS AND 5 DAYS ON THE ROAD.

Thanks to all who "rode with us." 

It was fun and we'll be doing it again.

I'll keep you posted.
