Another very early morning. This time we didn’t have to fight the traffic, we had an early appointment to go to Mt. Vernon. They even opened abit early to accommodate the early crowds. We were the second tour of the day to go through the mansion. Again, much of the building was original. It was humbling to think that we were standing where George Washington Stood over two hundred years ago. WOW!
Our tour included a cruise on the Potomac River. The day was perfect….not too hot, not too cold, and not so humid. We went from Mt. Vernon up the river to Ft. Washington, now on the list of things to do next time. Along the way there were explanations about the history of the area. We went to the Grist Mill and distillery. We learned how the Washington Farm diversified and began production of flour and corn meal. And started a fine distillery that made whisky. There was so much to see, but we moved on to the next thing.
The Holocaust Museum was the next thing on the list of things to do. We met Alisha’s cousin there, so they got to spend alittle bit of time together. The Holocaust Museum is always one of the things that people say they want to do and ask to do it every year. This year was no different; many people have said that it was their favorite thing.
We went back to the church and had supper and showers. We also started the process of packing and getting ready to go home.
