Washington D.C. Trip Update - Day 7

The House at Mount Vernon
Today, we are traveling back to North Carolina. However, before we left, we visited Mount Vernon. We bought tickets to get in and watched a 20 min video. This was on George Washington and his house in Mount Vernon. Then we walked to the actual house part and took a tour there. It was also pretty gray the day we were there. Next, we zipped through the grounds because we were pretty tired. We checked out the burial site of George Washington and his wife.
Once we were done we headed back to the visitor center and walked through two museums on Mount Vernon & George Washington. After that we ate in the food court and then walked back to our car and drove to the interstate and headed home.
It was pretty boring, but I guess most car trips are like that!! For dinner we stopped at Cracker Barrel and had a delicious meal. About an hour after we were home!!! We unpacked and went to bed.
