Happy 4th of July!

We just started to watch John Adams. We got into it after watching Rome and Tudors. My hubster was super adorable and said, "I guess it's good timing that we just started watching John Adams." Paul Giamatti is one of my favorite actors and he's great as John Adams. However, it's Laura Linney, who plays Abigail Adams, that steals the show. It's so rare to hear about respectable female figures in history. This depiction of Abigail Adams is amazing. She's intelligent and strong-willed. The mutual respect evident between both John and Abigail is refreshing. Of these three historical-based mini series, John Adams is my favorite so far.
