Mount Vernon!

The first day we were in DC we took a trip to Mount Vernon where George and Martha Washington lived! There was a scavenger hunt for the kids to do and once they were finished, they were each awarded a pressed penny! :) The scavenger hunt sent them looking in all of the outbuildings, etc! Fun! :)

The house:

George and Martha Washington are buried at Mount Vernon in the building below. Many of their family members are buried here as well.

While we were visiting, a high school band dressed in period clothing played on the bowling green in front of the house. Pretty cool!

This is the view from the back patio...absolutely stunning!
