Today we went on a "field trip" to Mt. Vernon. However, there were some bad storms last night and the power was out at the
General's estate. So, we saw the house and the reconstructed grist mill and distillery, but not the museum. I guess the museum is important because it will help us as field school students understand the Mt. Vernon interpretation of George Washington. This is important because the archaeological work we are doing will contribute towards the Ferry Farm interpretation of George Washington.
But, all of that academic stuff aside, Mt. Vernon is a nice place. The views of the Potomac are amazing.

That's all of Mt. Vernon from the front, which is really the back
