Ford's Threatre

This week we have been trying to see a couple of sites we havn't gone to. Ford's Threatre is a must do, not only did the completly re-do it, but its cool and its were we got engaged! Yea, I know its kind of a weird, slightly morbed place to ask someone to marry you, but it worked for us. We are both big old history nerds, and we are really big fans of Abraham Lincoln. So it meant something to us and plus it is a really pretty threatre. We went there yesterday with Porter and walked through part of the musuem, around the threatre and went up on the Balcanoy where Pres. Lincoln got shot and where we got engaged!

This is the exact place that Kevin proposed to me!





Then we headed over to the American History Museum, to go through a couple of our favorite exhibits.

This is a note and a can of beer taken from the Vietnam Wall, I thought it was cool! This old comrade wrote to a fellow solider that was killed in action, " Here is that beer I promised you."




Then we got Porter this stuffed Enisten Doll, he absolutely adores it! He is always talking to him and giving him hugs!
