Happy President's Day!

We did the completely predictable thing today, and headed out to Mount Vernon. One of Jeremy's favorite tourist-y things to do in DC, but a new adventure for Lily and I. Of course, we picked the one day each year that it's open to the public free of charge, so it was crazy. Luckily, we got there in the morning... friends of ours had to park at a local high school and take a bus in!

This was the first time we'd seen all the renovations that opened last year.
Lots of festivities in honor of Washington's birthday...
Lily was a champ waiting to take a peek inside...
... but definitely preferred the scenic route with Daddy.
High sixties for temperature and a beautiful view... what a great way to spend a day off!
Not sure if she thought Griffin was going to steal her chicken, but Lily would absolutely not hand over the rest of her lunch. It made it in her hands through the parking lot and into the car, and every time I turned around in the car to ask her how her chicken was doing, she just grinned.
