Interesting Day!

We started off trying to figure out what to do for the day. We decided we should make a quick run out to Lincoln's New Salem for an hour or so, while Emery was home napping. We loaded up, and then halfway there...we stumbled across these beauties.








Those are 1923 Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts. They were on their way across the country. Not sure what route they were on, as one of them was from Pennsylvania, another from Texas...and there were probably 10 more of them at this pit stop. Go ahead, google that car and see what it's worth! The couple that we talked to were SUPER nice, and let Trey sit up in their car and honk the horn! We almost turned around and went home because that might have been the highlight of our afternoon!

We headed on to New Salem to visit Lincoln's home sites.

Every one that works there is dressed up...



Here's the Blacksmith's cabin...







We happened across this guy...



Yes, he moonlights as Santa. Trey was very attentive,
as he was showing us how to make brooms.



Trey also attemtped to get this sweet girl to come with us...



Little door, or big man?



4 score and 7 years ago...



As we were leaving, an Amish group was unloading off of a tour bus...
I had to take a picture in fear that nobody would believe me...



All in all...I think we wore Trey out!



Today, there is no rain! YAY! I am headed out for some shopping and then we are headed out to the trucking company today. More pictures to come!
