VA Day 1

not really anything too exciting to report.  Cara had to go to a work meeting today somewhere in Podunksville VA.  So Pooh  and I were left to our own devices for the day.  We contemplated going to the Luray Caverns (I know, they  are amazing), but somehow that didn't happen.  Instead, we did a tour of about 60 miles around Winchester VA and tracked down every thrift store in the area.  So I got a little inventory and did see a lot of lovely scenery and some amazing Civil War era towns.

Pooh was a good sport.  He cheered when I proclaimed "hells no, I'm not paying $5.00 to go in the Winchester Court House Museum" (aka up the stairs to the 2nd floor).  And spent a lot of time doing this:
We have big plans for tomorrow!  Bob Evans for breakfast, The Soldier's Life: Civil War Museum, then Mount Vernon!  They should be ready to ship me home after that whirlwind of activity.  But we still have much more to see...

I love Mt. Vernon! Make sure you walk down to the river to see Washington's tomb, and the cool octagon barn & slave cabin. So much to see there. Pooh, way to make mom happy. You are a great son!

Is it muggy? Hopefully you get to cross some of those
Things off your list!!! Enjoy.

the weather is amazing! Not humid AT ALL and only about 80 at the hottest part of the day. I'm so happy I'm not a curly-haired sweaty wreck.

And LOL absolutely right Katie, that museum IS my Whitman Mission East. But I'm feeling pretty confident that today's the day I knock it off my bucket list.

And P, I'm trying to repay Pooh's good son deed by enticing him with the "National Treasure 2" tour at Mount Vernon...

agreed, Zaids. EVERYONE in a restaurant looks just like that.
