Mt. Vernon--One Perspective
On Friday we picked up Matt from work early, had lunch at a cafe' in old-town Alexandria--a very cute area, too bad we didn't take pictures, but it's pretty much like every other old-town neighborhood you've ever been in. Then we went to Mt. Vernon (GW's plantation on the Potomac) and explored--gorgeous day--then went to jazz night at a church in southwest DC, which was very fun, good music, a laid-back crowd, and hearty food. That would be the photo a few posts down featuring the ribs Hannah was salivating over.

As I was walking home from school today I was thinking about how just a week ago we were in DC!!
Time really speeds along!!
And next Friday we will be in Portland!!
We went a couple of times to Mt. Vernon and we loved it. There is just so much history in the DC area. I love to go there.
An interesting note about Mt. Vernon: the "stone-looking" exterior of the building is actually pine planks that are grooved to look like stone blocks, then finished with sand added to the paint for a stony texture. The colums were pine also, painted faux marble, and the interiors were pine painted to look like mahogany. And I thought the Mormon pioneers were unique in the Tabernacle with the faux marble columns and faux wood grained benches. Live and learn.
