"If my name ever goes into history it will be for this act, and my whole soul is into it"
~ Abraham Lincoln on the Emancipation Proclamation
The draft wheel from the Civil War. Names were put in, the wheel was spun and names were selected from this wheel 1 by 1. The numbers & birthdays selections came later.
Vietnam War: Televised. Every TV was playing different footage from the war in Vietnam. This exhibit had almost as many people watching as Abraham Lincoln's tribute exhibit, it was incredibly horrific.
I left the Smithsonian to head to the monuments. It was 90F out today, perfect for frozen lemonade and a sit by the reflecting pool.
My favorite place in Washington, between the Reflecting Pool and the Washington Monument. Perfect place to put your feet in the freezing water, eat your frozen lemonade & read a book....
After reading, I took a walk over to the Lincoln Monument, my favorite. After seeing Honest Abe, I was ready to head home. Back to the Metro
The obnoxious overly PDA couple in front of me. Took this out of shock that they stopped sucking face.
Salmon burgers for dinner.
After this my camera died :( The rest of the night went as follows:
Shower again.
Go to bar in Leesburg
Hang out with Gerry
Come home
Watch Chelsea Lately
Go to Bed.
