The day before Easter, some friends and I headed to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum . They had a display called "Jacqueline Kennedy Entertains: The Art of the White House Dinner" emphasizing how Jackie transformed and restored the White House. We happened to get 
there at just the right time to see a short film about Bobby Kennedy, who was very important and close to his brother. The Kennedys were rather inspirational and did a lot of good. The museum started at the Democratic Convention in LA, where John won the democratic presidential nomination, through the Campaign Trail, to the Inauguration, to the White House & Oval Office.
Some of my favorite things to see were Jackie's. In her high school yearbook she said that her aspiration in life was not to be a housewife. ;) I really think I would have liked living in that time... having a coming out party, getting to dress up, hosting parties
(planning seating charts, table decorations, name cards, programs). Jackie had some gorgeous, classy dresses and jewelry. Perks of being married to a President. :)
Just as a side note... remember Captain Preston from the massacre? He works at the JFK museum! I recognized him when he sold me my ticket and I guess I flirted just enough. He came and brought us pictures of JFK in nice folders while we were waiting for the movie to start. I'm holding mine above. To the right: Me with Trina and Kristie.
