Yesterday I visited the Abraham Lincoln Tomb, and I was as moved as I thought I would be. Today I am visiting the Presidential Library, so I will have a lengthy post on that tonight or tomorrow!

I am always impressed how moving these memorials are. Everyone should visit and pay their respects. Thanks for sharing.
I was easily moved to tears! So was my 17 year old. And a special shout-out to her for asking a group of really loud teenagers, inside the Tomb, to please be respectful by being quiet !
She is a good person. Did they respect her?
They did; I was concerned I was going to have to step in if I heard one person say something snide to her, or about her. They were quiet the rest of the time they were inside! I was impressed by all of them!
I figured they would. They were probably just feeling out of place and needed an example. Good for her.
Welcome to Illinois, Angela! You’ve come at a wonderful time with everything blooming and looking so pretty. Enjoy your trip!
I am surprised there are no flowers at all on Lincoln’s grave for the occasion! I assume that is part of the special plans for the weekend…
I think they were likely placing them on Sunday when they actually did the reenactment of the trip to the cemetery. Not positive on that though, and I did not stay for that.
