<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 2120659, member: 42727&quot;][USER=70703]@phankins11[/USER] , no I didn&#039;t know about the typo.&nbsp; I did spend the time to read his 2nd innaugural speech.&nbsp; It was great.&nbsp; I also read the Gettysburg address on the opposite wall.&nbsp; I did not explore beneath the memorial as I didn&#039;t have the time.&nbsp; The statue of Lincoln is awesome.&nbsp; It&#039;s well proportioned and detailed.&nbsp; The arms/legs of the chair reminded me of the &quot;fasces&quot; on the reverse of the mercury dime.&nbsp; At first I thought they might be book bindings, but upon closer examination, I thought they were closer to the fasces.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the Museum of US History, I really enjoyed the display about power generation.&nbsp; My company supplies materials that are used for generators, electric motors and transformers.&nbsp; It was cool to see the old equipment.&nbsp; I spent 18 years working in the automotive industry (10 at GM and 8 at a Japanese company), so the transportation section was also very cool.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;d like to plan a holiday to go back and spend 1 full day at each of the Smithsonian buildings.&nbsp; This trip was great, but it was for business and my time was not my own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
