Today I played tourist with one of my roommates. We went to Ford's Theater to see the site where President Lincoln was assassinated. The theater was so much smaller than I had imagined it to be. It was very interesting though because you sit in the actual theater and a historian stands on the stage and tells the story of how Lincoln was killed.
The area in the picture is the President's Box at Ford's Theater. The historian said the box is decorated exactly how it was decorated the night the President was shot. I definitely recommend visiting this theater at some point because it is so interesting to hear the details of the assassination.
After Ford's Theater we went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and the National Museum of Natural History. The museum has so many things to see that it is a bit overwhelming. I really enjoyed the dinosaur and gem exhibits but I could probably have spent an entire day there.
Oh, I forgot to mention. I ran into George Clooney earlier this week. We bumped into each other at Dupont Circle and got to chatting. He is the nicest man and so charming. We met for dinner tonight and he held my hand for most of the evening. Yeah, we are pretty much a couple now.
