On our way back to Wichita from Manhattan, we passed through Abilene, the hometown of Dwight Eisenhower, and the location of his presidential museum and library. Erin and I went to the library, and saw lots of rad stuff about the state of Kansas. We went over to the chapel, where Ike and Mamie are interred. I don't know much about Eisenhower's presidency (though I believe he removed ol' Joseph McCarthy from power and started Nasa) but was definitely inspired to check him out. Wikipedia here I come!
