Year Outta Here

We decided that a family road trip to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum would be a desire-abe-le way to cap the year. This marked the second time that Olivia has been to the museum, but the first dressed as her favorite president. Reed and I tinkered mostly with Lincoln logs—of course—in the children’s play area, while everyone else logged time in the rest of the marvelous museum.

On the way out, we took the requisite family shot with the Lincoln family. If you look closely between G and Reed, you’ll see the menacing John Wilkes Booth, who Olivia immediately recognized when we first stepped foot in the plaza. I exaggerate not: the kid knows more at age six about Lincoln than most adults do, including yours truly.
