One of our favorite museums was the Art Museum. Drew had studied several famous painters this year at school, so he was looking forward to seeing several of Picasso's originals. It was pretty cool! Here he is in front of one of my favorites....
Pointing at his famous signature...
This piece was in the modern art section of the museum and I thought it was cool. Is it an owl or a fish?!?!
That afternoon, we boarded a bus and went to Mount Vernon. This was a stop I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. I loved walking the grounds of the estate and imagining George and Martha walking the same path. They have preserved so much of the estate and his house, it is awesome. I especially loved seeing the bed that he died in (so weird to imagine)...the dishes that Martha picked out and to see how she decorated the home.
Jason and Drew are in front of the horse pastures on his estate.
Here we all are in front of the gates of Mount Vernon!
Here is more of the gang....
The boys in front of the doors on his front porch......
When we got back to DC, we went to Old Ebbit Grill for dinner. This is a famous restaurant across from the White House where many congressmen, US Reps....all the power people come and eat. It was just fun to people watch even though I didn't recognize anyone~
The boys got FBI hats and Brooke thought she needed one too.
I felt like we were on the set of Night at the Museum! It was so cool! This is right in the entrance when you walk in.
Grandma and Brooke went into the special butterfly exhibit. It was in a greenhouse, so I had to take pictures thru a window. There were butterflies everywhere and one landed on Brooke's back, which she was SOO happy about and still talks about it!
Here they are checking out something interesting that we couldn't see!
