However, the highlight of the dinner, and Tim's favourite dish from the whole trip, was the Pecan Bread and Butter Pudding (which we shared):
Think a buttery warm cinnamon roll dripping with caramel sauce and topped with vanilla icecream - OMG. This was definitely not diet food but boy it was good.
I also want to give a shout out to Moxie Massage, situated near our hotel. I had managed to hurt my back early on in the trip, and a wonderful lady at Moxie Massage agreed to see me at 8pm on a Sunday night for a remedial massage. She saved me. Thanks a bunch!!!
Springfield was the home of Abraham Lincoln before he became president, so while we were in Springfield, we visited Lincoln's home:
Being a lawyer, I was keenly interested in the table where he used to work on cases in the living room:
Springfield is also the home of the Illinois State Capitol:
The Abraham Lincoln presence is everywhere - there is even an Abraham Lincoln totem pole near the courthouse:
I really enjoyed our brief visit to Springfield - it is a nice place.

I laughed at Abraham Lincoln on a totem pole, I am afraid when I see him I think Planet of the Apes!!
That dessert looks so wonderful. I hardly ever eat ice cream but I want some melting on that pudding right now.
Ooh I'm loving these posts on America! The burger sounds great (the salad looks not quite as good though)!
Oh, I am so familiar with Springfield as well...so happy you got to see the Lincoln home, etc. Wish you could have seen the Frank Lloyd Wright house there, spectacular, and some other things. I should have met you there and whisked you away secretly, lol. They closed our Bennigan's a few years ago and I sort of miss it...they had great French Onion Soup. :-)
