We got to the Eisenhower Library and museum about 30 minutes before everything closed. We didn't have time to see the museum, so mom and I toured the house where Dwight Eisenhower and his family lived growing up, while Tait and Drew looked at the Library. The house was very sweet and little. 9 people lived there. There were 6 boys, Mr. Eisenhower, Mrs. Eisenhower and Grandpa. The house seemed like mostly bedrooms and not very big ones. Mrs. Eisenhower made 30 loaves of bread every week in her little kitchen. Everything in the house was cute.
After that we continued driving. For dinner we stopped at a restaurant called "Made From Scratch". We noticed the "Welcome Scratcher" just outside the door looks like it has probably been used, and took a picture. It was not one of our favorites as far as restaurants go, but we had fun just sitting at a table together. There were a couple of southern speaking older gentlemen sitting not too far from us. They were a funny pair. One of them was very animated, talkative and not very quiet and the other was quieter and just nodded his head offering little comments every now and then. It was pretty entertaining.
I took a picture of the sun shining through the clouds because it looked very fancy. The picture doesn't quite do it justice, but you get the idea.
We'll keep on driving till mom gets tired. We plan on being in Colorado Springs tomorrow sometime.
