A Look Down Pennsylvania Ave.


The U.S. Capitol


Taking pictures of our Capitol never gets old. This was taken from atop the Old Post Office building in the clock tower. This is my favorite landmark in Washington, D.C.

Mount Vernon

George and Martha Washington's tombs
It has been quite some time since I last posted on here. I have been very busy and now it's time for summer vacation. Walt Disney World awaits us.
Here are a few pictures from Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate. This was quite the house being it's over 200 years old. It sits along the Potomac River near Alexandria, VA, just 30 miles south of Washington, D.C.
A fun fact, Mr. Washington served dinner at 3:00 P.M. and he gave his guests until 3:05 to arrive. If they didn't arrive at that time he took their table setting away and they didn't receive dinner.
