yesterday was the real treat!
The weather was beautiful, and I ended up spending the day with my daughters
(husband man was home resting after minor surgery, alas).
First we went shopping - a fun thing I don't get to do very often with the
daughters (the sorrow of being the wage earner in the family).
Next we went to Alexandria to tour the USS Freedom, first of the Littoral
Combat Ships. It was a nice show, and my daughters were nicely impressed.
They got to sit in the XO's chair on the bridge, and I had to drag at least
one of them away from the fun technology toys. They both wanted posters to
show their classes.

On the way home, we saw a sign labeled "Mount Vernon." On a whim, we
followed the sign and drove down to Washington's estate. To my surprise,
the grounds were open. It's been over 15 years since my last visit, and
Mount Vernon is more impressive than ever. The weather was lovely, and the
baby lambs were gambolling in the fields, having escaped from the fenced
paddocks.
