On October 3rd, 2014, Marilou came up with the bright idea to visit Lincoln's house in Springfield! I know Abraham Lincoln as the sixteenth president. Besides being our president, I had no clue he had a wife AND kids!!! Seeing his house gave me a new perspective on Abe Lincoln. It was interesting to see how he lived his life. Lincoln and his wife had separate rooms and his two kids shared a bedroom. One thing I found interesting is in the upstairs hallway there were no decorations or pictures on the wall. This was because Lincoln's wife thought it was pointless to decorate spaces that will not be visible to guests.
We began our journey from the Wham building to Marilou's apartment, which was 0.6 miles. From there we traveled to Springfield, IL to Abraham Lincoln's house, which was 169 miles. All in all, we traveled 339.2 miles round-trip!
