I am running behind on my blog. Here it is April 18th and this happened on April 5, 6, & 7th. Yes we did have a wonderful time with my niece, "Michelle & fiancee Taylor". Drove South on the DC Beltway to meet them for breakfast. First we had a tour of their new fixer upper home in Annandale, Va. Also met the new dog, "Dozer" a character. A trip after to the Great Falls National Park. This is where Taylor proposed to Michelle just a week ago. Don't you know I forgot to put a chip in my camera. No Pictures until I get home. After a stroll in the park we were on our way in this historic area to see the battlefield of Manassas. Then back to their home for a BBQ...weather co-operated all day with a springlike day.
The following day Michelle took the day off to be our personnel tour guide to several of the museums in DC. So we didn't get lost this day in DC. Thanks so much Michelle.
On Tuesday Pat & I drove to Mt. Vernon to visit George Washington's restored home. Amazed how they could build such a quality home at this early date. Yes it was crowded during this Easter Break week but doable & weather was on the cool side.
The view from George's front porch looking North at the Potomac River...what a view.
The crypts where George & Martha lie.
A memorial to his slaves.
On my next blog I will post a few more DC pictures.
