My trip to DC

Sorry I haven't  blogged in a while, I was busy doing girly stuff ... remember, I'm just seven years old.

Ford's Theater  

Now I want to talk about my trip to Washington DC, from March 28 to April 1st. The first day I went to Ford's Theater I saw the balcony where Lincoln got shot and we heard about the story of what happened that Friday, April 14, 1865. I felt exited when I walked in and saw the actual place where Lincoln was killed.







After the theater we went across the street to  the Petersen house, where Lincoln  died on April 15th at 7:22 am. There I got to see the room where Lincoln was taken and where he died, that morning.

Petersen House

Next door from The Peterson house is the "Center for education and leadership" this place was really "cool", I tell you...It was amazing because I saw a copy of the funeral train and casket I got really exited! There was a lot of pictures and information of everything that happened after Lincoln's death.








There was a huge tower of books in the bookstore, all of them about Lincoln, there were 6,800 books in that tower, it was 34 feet tall.

Do you know that...some 15,000 books have been written about Lincoln. Do you have an idea of how many books that is? I could take a guess, I say it's a lot.

That same day I went to the wax museum, I saw Lincoln on the balcony and I got to sit with him and "chit-chat" for a little bit...I said "What's about being a President?"... Do you know that, he was shot at the theater but he didn't die until the next morning which was April 15 at 7:22 am.
Do you know that... John Wilkes Booth jumped from the balcony after shooting Lincoln and runaway...




But Lincoln wasn't the only one we saw at the wax museum, I got to "chit-chat" with Rosa Parks too...I even experienced how it felt to sit in the bus and hear the sirens and the police, it was scary.

...and then the news...

I was interview by the FBI...I think I'm in trouble..

....And this is how our first day in DC came to an end.






See you later, keep looking at my blog because there is some good information of my second day in DC coming soon...bye bye...
