Visit to Abraham Lincoln's Home

Today we drove down to Springfield to visit Abraham Lincoln's house.  We met our friends the Blands there (and for some ice cream). Katie earned a Junior Ranger badge. I am standing on the front porch of the Dean House near the Lincoln house - not that it was (windy) T-shirt weather in the 60s. My favorite thing to see at the whole site is Lincoln's little writing desk in his bedroom.  I like to imagine him in his tall frame squeezed into that little desk working on some of his landmark speeches.
