The Hermitage

Visited The Hermitage;
(That's Andrew Jackson's home).
My husband looks for history
Wherever we do roam.

We toured the house and grounds
And what we learned was surely plenty;
But best of all, a photo op
With my face on the 20!

I would prefer THE Hermitage museum! My reading of American history tells me that President Jackson was one nasty man, given to drunken bouts, foul language, and erratic behavior. Thanks for the warning, I won't spend my $20 if you're face is on it! / M

Don't try to spend it. At the convince store today, the clerk had a special pen she swiped a mark on a 20 that can tell if it is couterfiet. Hmm, crazy huh? Keep smiling. :)
