And why we take our kids to these things...

To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things.

It must believe in the past. It must believe in the future. It must, above all believe, in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgement in creating their own future. 

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

I really wanted to name Hudson Lincoln, but since we live about 1.5 miles from the town of Lincoln, we opted for Hudson, which is about 20 miles away.

Sounds like you had a very fun weekend. We saw you mom with Tess at a couple graduation receptions on Sunday. They looked like they were having fun together!
