What better place to spend President's Day than at the home of our first president, George Washington! That is what the boys and I did today. Unfortunately, Scott had to work. The coolest thing is that on President's Day admission is free to Mt. Vernon as opposed to the $16 per person otherwise. But, then again it is kind of a trade off because the place is packed to the brim with people. We had to park two miles away from the entrance and then had to wait in line for the bathroom for twenty minutes. Did I mention it was 35 degrees with a windchill of 17 degrees. Despite all of this I can still say we had fun. There was a little parade with all of the people costumed in colonial attire and it was nice for the boys to be outside for a little while, even at the risk of frost bite.

Man, I'm glad Atley is ok. He must have a great guardian angel watching over him. You guys are so lucky to be able to experience all that history around you-I'm definitely going to have to come visit! Take care! Shae
Are you a past history teacher or what?! I love the East and the history! Way to go it get out by yourself with the 2 boys and experience so much history and what an appropriate site for Presidents day. Your awesome Melissa!
