Years ago (I think back when I was in high school) my parents, Nelson and Mary, and I took a day trip to Charleston, Illinois from our South Suburban Chicago home to visit the various Abraham Lincoln related sights in the area. Lincoln's father and stepmother's final home was in Charleston, and their 1840s log cabin and gravesite are located there. A mile or so north is the house of Lincoln's stepsister, where he visited his stepmother and family for the last time back in January of 1861. The photograph above is of my mother and I in front of Thomas and Sara Bush Lincoln's grave. Do I look like a total nerd in that photograph or what?
