The Myers American Tour Day #1

Hello Everyone!
 I am writing this post from Springfield Illinois. We left our house this morning at 7:30 and drove to Springfield Illinois. We drove around 7 hours.

 This afternoon we went to Abraham Lincoln's home and tomb. It was awesome to see the place where Lincoln lived. We saw the place where the Republican Party's delegates officially gave him the Party's nomination, and his bedroom. Much of the furniture was original and it was cool to think of Abraham Lincoln sitting at a desk, writing letters, or shaving with his shaving kit. I don't have many pictures today, but I will try to get some tomorrow.

 We missed most of the severe weather today but we will get hit tonight. Tomorrow we will be driving in the remains of this storm for much of the day. We will drive 12 hours to Charleston, West Virginia. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.
Thanks for reading!
JM

  1. How fun that you got to stop in Springfield! We really enjoyed seeing his house a couple years ago. Can't wait to read about how the rest of the trip goes!
