Moments in History

It was as if ABE was drawing us in,

We were walking back from the Lincoln memorial and with many different streets to pick from each with there own history to tell we ended up taking tenth street,passing the top hotels in Washington where we watched the cream of Washington elite dressed in ball gowns walking red carpets into ballrooms glittering with gold,we sat drinking hot

chocolate we got from a old Chinese woman in a van watching the show

we walked past buildings with archways leading to inner courtyards with cobblestones we could hear the wooden wheels rolling past with news from the south,we saw solders camped out in the national mall,fire wood burning warming up stews and pots of coffee,

it was then we passed the Ford,s theater,

At first we did not realize the history behind this building but we checked it out anyway

we made a left turn and started heading back to the hotel when we found a sign on a house saying this is the house ABE had died in,as it was late at night it was locked up

so we took a photo and headed back to the hotel,

The next day after finishing our protest against

THE PEOPLES SOCIALIST PARTY OF NANCY PELOSI

we headed back to tenth street where SAM wanted to pick up some gifts for her crew back in the Rockies,as a typical male i waited outside having a cig when my attention was brought to a guard calling me over,he asked would i like to see the bedroom ABE died in

I said yes i would but we don’t have any tickets he said that’s

OK i have some spare one,s

I ran back to get SAM who thought i was gone mad and was trying to sneak in she kept

saying no dad we all ready got in trouble for taking that photo at the entrance to the

Pentagon when 2 heavy armed guards descended on us asking did we not see all the

signs saying NO PHOTOS which we still deny that we did,

this is different i says,

So up to the door i dragged SAM pushed it in and there was the guard handing us 2 tickets and that’s when we stopped dreaming and walked back 200 years,as i always say a photo speaks a thousand words so take a look and enjoy the moment,the front room was where his wife sat with the ladies,the back room no bigger that the bathroom in me hotel was where the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT was run from,and then you enter the bedroom where this fearless leader passed away,my favorite spot was down the back stairs and a entrance to a tiny garden i stood there thinking of ABE  walking up and down the garden making such decisions that made America such a great Nation,

thanks again

ABE
