Huge thanks to the Wilson family!
We had a wonderful visit with Laurie, Jay, and Caleb. They opened their wonderful home to us and took us on some great adventures! We hope they will come visit us in Colorado so we can return their kindness!

Mount Vernon
A great visit to George Washington’s home. It was a very large estate and farm. There were very interesting exhibits and movies as well as a tour of the house.
The gardens.
The house is built of wood. The planks are cut tolook like stone then painted. Sand is thrown at the paint to give it the appearance of stone. This is the part they are stripping to restore.
The Patomic River and the back lawn.
The standard photo of the back of the house.
Ali, Caleb, and Sam
The Maule Family
Laurie (my college roommate) and me.
The Mount Vernon ward.
The 16 sided barn. A unique way to harvest wheat.
Working on the Mount Vernon version of the junior ranger.
The presidential cabinet. Someone has a sense of humor!

Back to Virginia
A bridge crossing so no photo. A long day to end up back in the state where we started!
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
We stopped for a quick picnic and one more look at the ocean before we head west.
Our timing was impeccable- more dolphins swimming by. Some way off in the distance and a few very close to the beach!
NASA Rocket Launch Center at Wallops Island, VA
They launch suborbital rockets here. It would be very cool to see a launch but our timing was not that good!
That’s the launch site in the distance.
We all got to be astronauts!
A visit to a NASA site is not complete without space ice cream!
