After having class together this morning (side note: I'm glad we've had two separate classes this semester), we traveled to Mt. Vernon via an extremely long Metro ride and 25 minutes on a bus. The commute time proved to be well worth it. George Washington's estate, especially the mansion itself and the view of the Potomac, was absolutely breathtaking. I'm so glad it was a gorgeous day (sunny and 80 degrees), because that made the experience even better.
We spent several hours roaming the grounds and walking through the museum, which by the way, was also really entertaining. On our way home, a few of the girls and I stopped to eat at Gordon Biersch. We all had really great food, and it felt good to just roam around DC and stop at a random restaurant. Although we've been here for several months already, we really haven't fully explored the District. Now that the weather is really nice, we hope to do more of that before we have to leave.
Today's plans entail a little shopping (Friday was pay day!) and walking. We are supposed to be celebrating David's 21st tonight in Adam's Morgan, but plans are still up in the air. If nothing else, we are going to be sure to try the pizza slices that are said to be larger than our heads!
