In February 2012, my family decided to travel to Florida. As we were driving down instead of flying, we agreed to stop in Plains, Georgia to visit President Jimmy Carter. My brothers were less than thrilled, and for some reason kept referring to him as John F. Kennedy despite the fact that we had seen his gravesite almost two years earlier. After visiting Jimmy's sunday school class, we went off to find the historic site and birthplace. After Sunday school, we visited the historic site and birthplace.
