Date Day at Fords Theater!

So today (yay i am actually caught up and can tell you what we did today!) Curtis planned a day date for us at the famous Fords Theater! I have always wanted to go because it is historic (and secretly because I have heard it was haunted)  and Curtis had always wanted to go as well. It was so neat walking through the theater and learning more about history and Abraham Lincoln's assasination. He was such a great president and it was too bad that it had to happen to him.
Here are some pictures of our day date. :) We took the metro and headed to the theater! It was super cold outside but worth it!

waiting for the train

This church was on the way to Fords Theater. It looked neat 

Abes face out of pennies

a quilt made. two of the squares had Abe Lincolns signature and  Ulysses S Grant 

This picture is made by the words of the Emancipation Proclamation. It was made in 1865!

 Right before you enter into the theater, they have a timeline of what Abraham Lincoln was doing throughout the day and what John Booth was doing throughout that day. As he was preparing the whole day, Lincoln was enjoying life.

The stage

some of the suites

The Presidential Suite that Lincoln was shot in

The original Picture of George Washington was put there to make the suite seem more presidential  

i <3 him

the actual gun that was used. towards the bottom of the picture is a replica of the actual bullet

Across the street from the theater is where Lincoln was taken after he was shot. It was a home of a close friend.

The room his wife waited in as he was in the room

the room where the executive branch operated while Lincoln in the next room

Behind us is the bed lincoln passed away in. Such a tragic story. 

Ford Theater was great even though I didn't catch any ghosts or anything.. :) lol

After that we came home and I have been cleaning and decided to update my blog while Curtis watches his Sports! It has been a nice day. Thank you for our date today curty!
