On the trip to KY from OH we HAD to stop at Abe Lincoln's birthplace, considering this is the 200th year since his birth. It was a great stop and nice time walking around the area. He was such a great man and I am dying to convince Dan to go for "Lincoln" especially this year!
This marked #41 on our National Parks/Monuments quest. Once we married and realized we would not have the money/time/ability to travel outside the country as often as we would like (still plagued with wanderlust though) we began a quest to visit ALL the National Parks and sites before we die. We have hit a number of them already. We have come to find that they truly are TREASURES here on our country's soil. These places and parks mark a history and carry a spirit only felt at those sites. I am grateful for all those who dedicated much of their time and energy to the preservation of these sites.
