I did not post this at the time and I was going though some old files and saw it again. So ia m am posting it now :), better late then never. In January Stephen and I decided to go to the home of president Woodrow Wilson. It was very interesting and to be honest, more informative then I thought it would be. The house is beautiful and was bigger then it looked. Woodrow Wilson and his family moved into there after he was president in about 1921. He lived there until he died about 3 years later. His wife lived their until she passed in the1960's, but 80-90% of the house's set up and furniture/ nick knacks are original and set up the same way it was when Wilson lived. Stephen and I were enjoying the tour when we walked into the Wilson's entertaining room. The room was not huge bit it was a nice size and included many items that he was given from other royalty and ambassadors of other country's. In the middle of this room was a Grand piano that the president played set up in front of a huge detailed tapestry given to the Wilson's from France. The tour guide talked about the different things we saw in the room, and then asked if anyone played the piano. Stephen (to my surprise ;P) raised his hand. Our guide asked him if he would like to play a piece on the presidents piano. Stephen walked forward, sat down and proceeded to play beautiful rendition of Silent Night. Several of the people started to sing along! I was to amazed to sing, but I did capture a picture instead! Here to the Memory!
