A couple weekends ago we had some mild weather for Januaray. We decided to take advantage of it and journey to Mt. Vernon for a nice little day trip. It was a little rainy and I guess for once not many people had the same idea because it was more or less deserted. No lines and we got to walk right into the houses and the museum. Excellent! The boys really enjoyed it. Dylan is learning all about Virginia history this year and knows so much about the French and Indian War, George Washington and Native American history. So this was right up his alley! He gets to go again this spring for the 4th grade field trip so he'll be a pro.
