Mount Vernon

Perhaps one of our favorite DC spots was Mount Vernon! I was the only one that had ever been there before, so it made the trip super fun! It was even more fun to be able to ride the ferry over to it with Joe and Adam!We were able to see where out first president was laid to rest...Yet, the kids were far more entertained with the skink...I thought they were enthralled with the tomb, but this was what they were looking at! They had fun taking in the sights with Daddy and Uncle Joe...But yet again, they were more enthralled with the living creatures than anything from our country's incredible past...This bald eagle (that I could not get a decent picture of) was one of their favorite things!Oh, and Uncle Joe's skit with Ballerina's hat...We then took the ferry back down the Potomac where Ballerina and her cousin engaged in their typical...fighting! It is always funny until one of them gets hurt, and then their smiles turn to dramatic tears!And, no adventure would be complete without Ballerina waning to pose for a session with the camera! She entertained the entire group on the ferry with this session! "Take me peeecture Mommy! Take it!" Thanks to Joe and Cambrey for another great day in DC!
