Today we had some plans, but we ended up spending almost the whole day at Ford's Theater. We bought tickets in advance (they're cheap, but this seemed like a good idea) for a timed 10:30 entrance. The recommended times were 30 minutes in the museum (we spent about an hour and a half), 30 minutes in the theater (we actually spent less, maybe 15 minutes), and 15 minutes in the Petersen House, where Lincoln died (we spent at least an hour). By the time we added in lunch in between the theater and house, our day was pretty much over.
After that, we headed back to Silver Spring on the metro (where I'd forgotten to pay the parking meter, but we didn't get a ticket!), sad goodbye (for now) to Jaydee and Téa, and drove out to Ellicott City, where we are going to stay with Brian, Sarah, Claire, and Tyler for the rest of our nights. The kids have been super worked up since...
