Our Nation's Capital

Photobucket
Meet Abe. He was our countries 16th President. I LOVE Abe and always have. I've studied Abe's life, and did you know when he died there were four newspaper clippings found in his wallet. Supposedly, those were the only positive things he ever saw written about himself while serving as President.

Ford's theatre
This is where Abraham Lincoln was shot. I really enjoyed going to Ford's Theatre. This theatre is still used today for shows. That picture of George Washington is the original that was up there during the incident. Another Fact: The last thing Abe signed as President was the making of Secret Service.

Just like the other two cities, we did another bus tour. These are some of the places we visited. And since we were on the bus, I didn't get very many shots with people in them. We also went to the Halocaust Museum, it is unbelievable to see what happened at that time. The museum is very well done, and helps you realize your many blessings.

On top of the bus! Thanks mom and dad for everything! You did a lot for us, we had such a fun time! My mom leaves tomorrow morning, I'm kind of sad about it. These two weeks have flown by!

    It's crazy to see all this since I've been to all these places! Did you go to George Washington's house? Or any of the museums? Glad you are having fun - sad for your mom to leave - I bet they had a blast!

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
