Mount Vernon

Today we took a cruise down to Mount Vernon. Travel time was an hour and a half each way so we got about four hours to tour the estate. It would have been fun, but there was tons of school groups. They really need to have a day where school groups are not allowed. After we got back to the District we went to the base of the Washington Monument. We were unable to go to the top since it's still closed, but was cool nonetheless. Katie has a pretty bad headache so let's hope she gets to feeling better.
