DC Vacation - Day 5

On day 5 of our vacation, we visited the National Archives. We saw the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence and the Louisiana Purchase; among other historical documents.

After the Archives, we were hoping to visit Ford's Theatre, where President Lincoln was shot, but unfortunately, it was closed due to renovations. We were, however, able to tour the house across the street where President Lincoln died at 7:22AM on April 15, 1865. Here are two pictures of the room where he died:

On our way back to our hotel that afternoon, we passed basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the sidewalk. I did not recognize him, but Tim did. As far as I'm aware, this was our only celebrity sighting while in DC.
