George Washington was just under 6'3", just like my David. I like tall boys!
The day after Christmas we got to venture forth and see George Washington's house.
Welcome to Mt. Vernon
The area had signs in front of the house that said things like 30 minute wait from this spot. David and I suffered the cold but we got to walk right up to the house; wait not included! Also Christmas time is the only time that tours are permitted to see the third floor, I was so excited. In fact at one point in our tour we had to wait for more people before they would start the tour. I love history and George Washington is one of my most favorite founding fathers, I really should read a biography of him.
This is the backyards beautiful view of the Potomac river.
It was really cold, again.
Us in George's backyard.
BIG house even by todays standards.

There were lots of interesting things to see. Even though I know it would be brutally hot and we will have to wait in line I still think that this particular historical site is already calling to me for a summertime visit.
