\"Hoover\"<\/a>
\nAbove, my friends, is one heck of a Herbert Hoover collage. Even a president aficionado (as I was called when I visited the Theodore Roosevelt Inauguration site<\/a>), was taken aback by all of that Hooverness.<\/p>\n

This weekend I’ll be meeting a friend at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum<\/a>. I am so thrilled that she suggested the trip. I can’t wait to see her and hear how life has been treating her over the last several years.<\/p>\n

My friend saw a commercial about a First Ladies exhibit at the museum.  I look forward to seeing that in addition to learning more about President Hoover. The exhibit will display items from the first ladies. The website tells us that there will be on one of Hillary Clinton’s suits and Grace Coolidge’s Girl Scout uniform. We’ll also see one of Martha Washington’s rings. While  my interest is primarily in the presidents, I am becoming more intrigued by the women they loved.  I think this exhibit might be just what I need in preparation for the project that will follow Head of State Cakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Usually Alex spends the weekends with his dad. However, I don’t like to go do a bunch of fun things without him. That’s just not the way that I want the story of his childhood to go. With this trip, though, I wasn’t sure that he would want to go, so I gave him the choice and he is, indeed, coming. Part of me thinks that he just wants to make serious progress on the audiobook we’re listening to. After all, when I drop him off for school, he makes sure that the audiobook is stopped so that he doesn’t miss a thing. The other part of me thinks that he’s just curious about his mama and her friends.<\/p>\n

This trip will take me to the 5th of 14 of the presidential libraries that are run by the National Archives and Records Administration<\/a>. I am so grateful for these libraries, they help me to delve deeper into this topic that I’ve come to love so much, and they help me to understand the context of so much that is a part of the nation’s history.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait.<\/p>\n
