In the middle of all the car troubles we were making some, albeit slow, headway east. For one of our numerous stops we decided to go to Abilene KS to the the
Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. As is usual for a Holliday, instead of getting there at 2 like we wanted, we arrived at 4:30. The library and museum close at 4:45. Luckily the grounds were open later, so we wandered a bit.
I love President Eisenhower for many reasons, not the least of which is creating the interstate highway system. During this same part of the trip we drove the first 8 miles of the first highway. Almost brings tears to my eyes.
