Today we went to CIL and met Kim and the kids for lunch. We ate at a Mexican restaurant up the street. Later we took a taxi to Ford's Theater. I was in the front seat of the taxi since there were five of us. At one point the driver honked at another taxi that was in the way, I turned to our driver and said, "Those darn cab drivers!" He couldn't help but smirk.
The theater was really cool. I got goosebumps sitting in the same theater that Lincoln was shot.
We also got to visit the Petersen House where they took him and he passed away. We saw the room that he was in.
The kids and I filled out Jr Ranger books and were sworn in.
I was getting one for my neice who didn't have time to finish her's last year. We took the Metro back to DuPont Circle where we found Hello Cupcake. We each bought a cupcake - I haven't tried mine yet because we also stopped for homeade icecream. Two scoops and a water bottle costed me $8 and it wasn't very good.
After I got back to the room and chatted with Lou about our day, I went back out down the hill a couple blocks looking for a burger. I found Maddy's Bar & Grille who were willing to give me one to go. Went back to hotel showered and enjoyed my burger. It was really good until almost 10pm when I was almost asleep... Thought I would be in the restroom all night but luckily I wasn't. When I got back to bed I started hearing this weird noise. It sounded like someone was using a handsaw to saw through my ceiling. It was freaking me out - I almost called the hotel people BUT instead I faith-rested and listened some more. I could here some people giggling so I decided it was okay but layed awake listening for awhile. The sound stopped after about twenty minutes and I did not see any holes in the ceiling. :) So I went to sleep but I woke up to pretty much any weird sound I heard.
