WASHINGTON

now that we are finally home and trying to get caught up..hahaha..i will try to

put some pictures on the blog...we had a good time in washington, dc..the first day we dodge in and out of the rain and at times heavy rain so all the museums were packed full of tourists just like us...we camped at greenbelt national park and took the metro into the city that way we didn't have to worry about parking but we walked and walked (forgot my pedometer)...one day we spent at the monuments walking and walking there's way to much to see in just a few days ...one day we spent at arlington cementry and watched the changing of the guards and also there was a presentation of a couple of wreaths by 2 different groups which made the changing of the guards more special...

then on sunday we went to mount vernon george washington's house and spent the whole day there and didn't see it all ..we missed some of the gardens...saw several movies of the time and george was more than just a president he was also an inventor and loved his gardens...

george build a 16 sided barn to have his horses run around on the wheat to trash it...

the four of us standing outside the barn

all in all we had a great winter and now it is time to try to get caught up around the homestead before we take off again...
