Then we headed to the Ford Museum...we've been staring out our window at it for days.
I think I love American History, especially presidential history. It's super interesting to me.
I thought this was very admirable to have said. Super cool quote!
The only thing I would like about my husband being President is that my life would be chronicled in photos. I LOVE looking at all these old pictures.
This one is so sweet.
The SEVENTIES! I love piece signs!
Okay, I hate shoes. But I know I would have hated these FAR more than the shoes we wear today.
Check out this seventies' tv. Woah!
Super cool. I would wear a tshirt like this now! Maybe we outta bring back the throw back.
The 25th Amendment...this is how Ford got into the White House.
Some of the Watergate tools that were used to break into the Democratic Party's National Committee offices.
Because of his involvement in scandal, Vice President Agnew resigned from office. This meant, that under the 25th Amendment, President Nixon could then appoint a new VP.
Somehow, Gerald Ford was nominated to become Vice President.
Clearly, he was a favorite. Months after Ford became VP, Nixon was in the hot seat.
He soon resigned. Gerald R. Ford became the nation's first ever unelected President of the US.
Ford's oval office.
Then came a tough call...what to do about Nixon. I read this entire letter. Ford felt that the nation had finally somewhat restored itself and did not want a delayed trial to cause more division among the people. This led to Ford's pardoning of Nixon. Many people wrote President Ford to voice their approval/disapproval. I loved looking at the language they used in their letters and seeing how passionate they felt about the entire situation.
Ford ran for the Republican ticket against Ronald Raegan in 1976 and won. He would be opposed to the Democratic ticket winner Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter won the Presidential election.
Someone tried to kill President Ford, I believe twice in one day.
Ford has three granddaughters with the same names as me and my sisters.
I think this seal is gorgeous.
We walked around the museum after the tour. It is really pretty.
Downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This fuzzy stuff floated all around the air. It was coming at me while I was driving.
Finally we found out what the heck it was!
Looks like a Cottonwood tree!
