Virginia Part 1....

Our long awaited trip to Virginia finally arrived!! Everyone was so excited to go see Mary and Brad!! The kids were super excited about flying. We don't fly much around here!!! It was Joshua's first time!
 



 
Our first full day in Virginia was packed with fun!! A ride on the Metro...we decided it would be easier (and a lot more fun) to ride into the city than to drive. We had the Duck Tour booked....a tour around the city by land and water on a WW II DUKW amphibious vehicle!

It was a great tour. Just the right amount of time and it went by all the must see places.
 



The highlight (of course) was driving straight into the water!



 
Day 2 took us to Mount Vernon to see George Washington's home.
 



The view out the back of the house was beautiful!!!
 
 


Inside the museum they had a children's area with dress up clothes...

 
George and Martha :)
 

We stopped at the at the Gristmill and Distillery on the way out. They were all sold out of the rye whiskey. :( An interesting tour though!!!


 After a little rest at home, we decided to go to Great Falls Park. The warning sign is a bit scary!!!


It is an incredible sight though. We watched some guys in kayaks go down the side of the falls a few times.

 

 
Lucy was a bit tired and worn out after the l-o-n-g day!!!
