Washington DC - Ford's Theatre

While in Washington DC we went to Ford's Theatre and it was great.  While working at The Venetian, I have had the pleasure of meeting several of the women who work at Ford's Theatre and they always offer a private tour any time I am in the area so while we were there, we took them up on the offer.  The Theatre was recently restored and looks amazing but our favorite part was the museum downstairs.  We were given a private after hours tour and it was the best part.  So many artifacts to see...even the actual gun that Booth used to shoot President Lincoln.
