Mt. Vernon

     This is our trip to Mt. Vernon.  This is where George Washington lived and is now buried.  We got to see a lot of his land, his gardens, slave living quarters, blacksmith shop, and of course, his huge house.  His mansion is right on the Potomac River and we were also able to go down to the wharf behind his house and see the river close up...it is such a wide river!  It is more like a lake to us and some parts of it are honestly wider than parts of Pineview!  It was really neat though and a fun historical adventure!

This was Danny's amazing photo shot.  He said that we should probably have our own little photography business on the side, haha.

This is me in front of Washington's first tomb.  He was buried here and then was moved about 30 years later to the tomb where he now resides.

This is the current Washington Tomb.
