mount vernon: part 2

After everyone was refueled with lunch, we headed out to the wharf and old tomb area. Thankfully there was a bus to the other side of the property so we didn't have to walk.

I'm so glad we had Rusty and Krista with us. We actually got some family pictures.

From there we walked through the farm area and saw all kinds of neat stuff. Fruits, veggies, old farm houses, and sheep. Lots of sheep.

It was only a short walk through the woods to Washington's Tomb. 

This tree has been here since about 1766.

The Tomb of Washington. 

From here we went to the slave memorial. You can spot Michael holding Morgan, Rusty and Addison walking ahead.

I don't know what it is about this kind of stuff, but it gets to me. Something about the dead just pulls at my heart. The memorial had Love, Hope and Faith written out in the concrete. It seemed fitting.

This is the old tomb where George was originally buried. He was then moved to the one above. After uploading this picture I saw the light just above the door. I found it interesting. Just saying.

On the way back to the shuttle bus we stopped for some pictures. And to rest a few minutes.

We weren't in the car long and Morgan was out. Mount Vernon was a lot of fun, but it made for a long day.
