One of the many things that Dan and I both enjoy is studying history. Of the trips we have taken together, Washington D.C. has been one of our most favorite places to visit. I love the idea of standing or walking where people did hundreds of years ago. (In LA we don't have too many places that have this quality.) This past week Dan and I discovered a seven part series on HBO produced by Tom Hanks on the life of
John Adams.
Paul Giamatti plays John Adams and Laura Linney plays Abigail Adams. The series is based on the research of biographer David McCullough who wrote a biography on John Adams and much of his research comes from the many letters that John and Abigail wrote to each other over their lifetime. The series has been praised for its historical authenticity. Those of you interested in the start of our country or history in general should definitely check this series out! The
White House website has tons of great historical information too! Watch the trailer
here and the making of
