Mount Vernon


This year we have really been taking advantage of the gorgeous fall weekends to spend some time outside and soak in beautiful northern Virginia.  So again this weekend, we ventured out, this time to George and Martha Washington's house -- Mount Vernon.  It was such a pretty, relaxing day with some wonderful old friends.




 This particular weekend was the fall festival at Mount Vernon, so there were some extra attractions for the kids.
Simone in the hay maze.

A handmade corn husk doll.  Simone and mommy crafted it.

Along the banks of the Potomac River.

Playing with old fashioned hoop toys.


And when all else fails... it makes a decent hula hoop.

Just stunning autumn colors!



And a little remind of the season to come.... can't wait!!!  But first we'll get through Halloween this week.
