Washington D.C part 3!

On that Monday we got a tour at the bureau of engraving and printing(no pictures allowed), it was interesting to see how money was made, but if I had known what the tour was going to be I'm not sure I would have woken up at 7 to go take a tour at 8:15. After that tour that we had a tour at the Capital and that was great! Our tour guide was great, and I really enjoyed learning about all the history, and about how the statues are chosen for each room and such! After the capital we went to the the Air and Space Smithsonian Museum. I think at that point in the day we were so overloaded with history, that we kind of just went through the motions of looking at the museum. It was really cool but I wish we could go back and see it again so that maybe I could take some more info in.

That Tuesday the 23rd we were leaving D.C but before we left we visited Ford's Theatre. Can I just say that I'm practically obsessed with Lincoln, seriously I wish I was alive when he was president, I feel like he would've been a pretty cool guy.

I haven't downloaded pictures from my point-and-shoot which is where all air and space museum pictures are so for now just enjoy the capital pictures!!

This lady's name is "Freedom" and she's perched above the Capital.

A really nice chandelier 

FORD'S THEATER!! Exactly where Lincoln was shot. (Found out about how everything went down and learned so much! maybe I'll tell it in a later post) 

Where Lincoln was brought after he was shot. He lived for another 9 hours after he was shot. This bed is probably smaller in length then a twin, and Abe was 6'2" they had to lay him diagonally so he would "fit" 

One more recap post then probably another post with pictures I haven't posted yet!
