I took my daughter down to DC yesterday - I had promised her a trip to the Spy Museum. Alas, I have no photos from there - they don't allow any (kind of appropriate in an atmospheric sense :) ). There was a long wait to get in, so we had time to stroll the neighborhood before our 3PM entry time. So, we walked down to Ford's Theater, where Lincoln was shot in April, 1865:

There's a small museum in the basement, which we visited. It has various exhibits from the time of Lincoln's death, including the nasty political cartoons of that era. The various people who think that politics are too mean spirited now have no sense of history, that's for sure.

We didn't get into the theater itself - it was restored back in the '70's, and is a working theater now - there was a group rehearsing while we were there. We took a look at the old boarding house across the street though - that's where Lincoln actually died, after being carried across. There was a long line, so we didn't go in - but I did snap a photo of the plaque:

We also walked down to the Navy Memorial, which is beautiful. Victoria took a few shots of that - I might post a few once she gets around to downloading them off her camera.
