Mount Vernon



The drive out to Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) was so beautiful! I've never seen downtown D.C. from across the Potomac like that, it was great! We thought we could just spend a couple of hours at Mount Vernon in the morning, but once we got there we realized how much there was to do and ended up spending the whole day there.

How would you like this view from your backyard?

There was a very nice museum about George Washington. This picture of Brooke and Amber is of George Washington's step-grandkids. It was fun to learn a little more information about him. By the way in case any of you were wondering he never had wooden teeth, most of his dentures were actually made out of lead.
