I was super tired last night, so I didn't blog. So today's post is Saturday and Sunday. I had the most fun at the Spy museum on Saturday. It was worth every penny to get in. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures, but it was still a neat place because they gave you a cover so you could be a spy in the museum.

Saturday we started our day at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a really profound place.

I saw the JFK Memorial:

The tomb of the unknown solider was really profound as well. I also got to see the changing of the guard, which was something that certainly was a sight to see. They just walk back and forth, never ending. Then the officer comes out and inspects the new guy and there is a trade off. Some people in our group got to lay a wreath at the tomb.

 I also visited Ford's Theater, where Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Boothe. The Presidential box was kept the same and they even had the derringer pistol, which was tiny.

Today I got to see Fredrick Douglas' House and we had a most interesting tour guide who kept saying, "If you will," about 50 times.

 Me shaking hands with Fredrick Douglas, the Marshall of D.C.

 I'm at Lincoln's Summer Home pretending to be Salmon J. Chase, a man in Lincolns cabinet, who strongly supported emancipation. Which I will remind you only freed slaves in the rebel states and did not end slavery. That would be the 13th amendment that ended slavery.

 Here I am helping President Lincoln saddle up his horse so that he could ride to the white house as he tended to do every day. A 30 minute commute...not too bad and he would do it without and guards. I thought that was crazy!
