We have/had so many plans for this Christmas season. One thing we knew we wanted to do was to drive into town and see the National Christmas Tree and the Capitol tree. So, we decided to stop to eat dinner at one of our favorite places in Georgetown. On the drive there, the boys started talking and Nate missed his turn. If you miss a turn going into Georgetown, you can guarantee it will take you 30 extra minutes to get there. There is so much construction going on there now. We are all super hungry and cranky because of all the traffic. It's super cold and the night is not looking very festive. Luckily, we had a good dinner...our blood sugar went up! :) We headed out to look at the trees.
Our drive took us right by Lincoln Memorial. Of course, Link thinks it's HIS memorial, so Nate tried to explain that it was not HIS memorial and that it was a previous President's memorial. Naturally, he said, "NO, President Obama is President." It just so happened that at this moment, we were right in front of the White House.
I am still not so sure how and when the conversation started taking the odd turn it did, but we spent the next hour talking about Presidents and assassinations. We ended the night driving Lincoln to Ford's Theater to show him where President Linky died. :) Since that night, we have bought a President Lincoln book and a book of facts with pictures of all the Presidents.
