Jerusha's Visit: Day 3 and 4

On Sunday we got up and went to church then headed to Springfield to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library. We ran out of time so we couldn't visit the library but the museum was great. If you live anywhere near central IL it is well worth the drive and $10 admittance charge. The one strange thing about the museum is there are several wax figures everywhere and they are a little creepy. But other than that it is very clean, educational, and well put together.

Jerusha, me and Matt posing with some wax Union Civil War soldiers.

Jerusha and I couldn't resist trying on the Abe Lincoln masks. They look like apes and probably had so many germs in them but it made for a great picture so it was worth it.

Monday was a very uneventful day but we still had fun. Jerusha and I drove to Bloomington so she could catch the bus to O'Hare (we were having some difficulties with the flights) and we had lunch with some mutual friends in Bloomington. Then Jerusha left and I drove home and took a nap.

For those of you who are interested in the luggage saga, it continues. By Sunday night we realized she was never going to get her luggage so Matt called United and asked them just to route it back to Cleveland. When Jerusha was at the airport yesterday she made the same request and they said they would do that. So, we were all amused when today in the middle of a snowstorm someone from the Bloomington airport called Matt and asked him for directions to our house since they were almost to Champaign with Jerusha's luggage. What?!? Matt directed it straight back to Cleveland so we're praying Jerusha gets it by the end of the week.
