MOUNT VERNON ADVENTURE

We went to Mount Vernon during Mom and Dad's week off. It was pretty cool. It was a nice estate and I mostly explored nature as opposed to history.

I started off walking all around the estate and exploring the gardens, the servants quarters, etc. I love walking around!

Mom tried to get in a good photo opp but I was distracted by the sprawling estate that awaited me!

Mom and Dad gave me a pretty long leash.

So, I eased on down, eased on down the road!

Then I came to the end of the path.

And after all that walking, I decided to take a break.

Reeeeee-laxing!

Oh yeah. Did I mention that I saw a SNAKE!!! Just like my Cousin Cam!

After the snake sighting, Mom decided I should take a drink of water from the water fountain . . .

And then into the stroller for me. No more walkin' around.

At first I was happy chilling in the stroller.

I continued my nature quest. I totally get why they call it Fall (cause of the falling leaves Samson!)

But then I realized that I had lost my freedom!

I was NOT HAPPY!!!

Ahhhh! I hate being cooped up!!!!

So Dad set me free and we looked at the animals in George Washington's paddock.

Seeing the chickens made me hungry --- for some chicken. Sorry PETA!

I discovered that the Food Court at Mount Vernon wasn't exactly gourmet cuisine.

But I tried to fake it anyway. Didn't want to offend Martha.

We wrapped up our trip shortly afterwards. It was a pretty great day though. Maybe next time you can actually go on some of the tours Mom and Dad! SORRY!!
