Yay! What a trip! I went to Washington D.C once for a school field trip in art class to visit the National Gallery, and I had a great time, but it was limited to what we could see in the museum in those hours and then back to bus, we couldn't tour the whole capitol. Seeing the White House sounds incredible! I am happy that you are going to make a dream come true soon and see this part of history. What a wonderful present from your uncle. Ford's theater also sounds monumental, though sad as well. I remember once a video that I think you showed me of an elderly man whose family was in the theater that night of the asassination that was very moving.
