We did a bunch our touristy stuff, including driving down to Mount Vernon, George Washington's home. I was expecting a boring house tour, which I got (best trivia, the Washingtons liked REALLY UGLY green paint just to show off that they were rich), but it was actually an estate and museum so we got to walk around acres of grounds and were treated to some amazing views of the Potomac. Along one trail were signs asking trivia questions. Here is David celebrating his correct answer.

And here is Gavin and I sad that we lost.

Also, Washington's dentures were not made of wood. They were made of animal teeth, mainly hippo. Seriously.
My God, not baby hippo, I hope! Perish the thought....
