Yesterday Aubrie and I went with Kristi and her boyfriend Carleton to Mt. Vernon. Home of George Washington. It was so amazing. The history lesson was incredible. The mansion lies right out by the Potamic River. Kristi and Carleton took Aubrie a good portion of the day for me while I went on tours. As you can see by the above picture of her sleeping at the restaurant, they did a good job of wearing her out! There are several things to do there including a museum - this is where Aubrie got to "dress like Martha Washington" a tour of the Mansion- past the actual master suite where Washington died! It needs to be noted here that on the tour Aubrie got a little too close to one of the rooms and much to the tour guides dismay, she set off the alarm! I really enjoyed the slave tour and seeing Washingtons tomb and learning SO much history. It was so humbling to stand on the lawns of this place and think of the people that used to live here and the lives they lived. SO AMAZING! Thank you Kristi!!!

Thank you Jules for sharing! Ooh that Aubrie is as cute as her Mom and Aunt! Mount Vernon is an amazing place. (I'm glad to get a picture of Carleton too. Thanks!
I love Mount Vernon, it's so beautiful. What a fun time. Can't wait to see you guys :)
That looks like lots of fun! It makes me want to vacation back east to soak up some history.
You are having so many great experiences. Doesn't it make you glad you moved away for a little while? :0)
