We definately made sure my parents had their fill this past week they were here for a visit. We started Monday with a "fun" trip to Ft Myer for groceries. Tuesday we drove out to Mount Vernon, which 8 miles outside of Alexandria. What a beautiful drive! Washington's property is beautiful and he was so creative, inventing this and inventing that to make processes easier. We really learned a lot about George, personally and politically. We even got to see his false teeth. Fun fact about George: He had terrible teeth. When he began his presidency he only had 1 tooth left. He had his dentist make sets of false teeth made of human and hippopatomus teeth, set in lead. So now when you make it on Jeopardy and win because of this tid bit of info, I expect a cut! Hee!
