Mike and I, along with Katie and a friend of ours went to view President Ford's casket on Tuesday night (which turned into Wednesday morning...over 4 hours in line!!!) Today I took the kids to the memorial in front of the museum. Anna was very intriqued by all the things that people had left for the former president. Yesterday at the end of the funeral broadcast as the flag was handed to Mrs. Ford, Anna happily told me that she had one of those in her class at school and could tell me all about it. She then recited the pledge of allegiance. It was a good feeling to be able to show Anna a glimpse of history and to also let her be a part of it as well.
