Day 1 - Virginia and Mount Vernon

Last night we were on a 5 hour flight to the Dulles Airport. After getting off the plane, we went to Cracker Barrel which brought back some childhood memories for Rees and I. We went to Mt. Vernon and learned about George Washington not just as a President but as an everyday person. We all had our fair share of naps. It was very interesting. We drove for about 2 hours to Williamsburg where we checked into our lovely hotel! :)
