We live in a really fantastic place to homeschool. There are so many wonderful museums near our home. And so much history all around this area. Last week we visited Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. We had never been there before even though we have lived here for nearly seven years. Well, we were really missing out! George Washington said (paraphrased) that it was the most wonderful place on earth. I find it hard to argue with him. It was beautiful! I wanted to sit on his back porch all afternoon and take in the view of the Potomac and watch the kids run around his lawn. We spent all day, 9:30-5:00, walking around his estate. When it was time to go I was sad to leave. It is really a beautiful place.

Good bye for now, Mount Vernon. I'm sure we will be visiting you again soon.
