Today we celebrated Presidents Day with a field trip to George Washington's home at Mount Vernon. We joined a lot of other people who, like us, were taking advantage of free admission to commemorate the holiday. We didn't tour the house, but instead decided to walk around the grounds to soak up the cold, fresh air on a blue-sky day.

(Washington's grave on the right -Martha's is on the left- with a Mason wreath.)
(Two wreaths laid today. I didn't see who the closest one was from but the one with the red ribbons was from Fordham University. What's the connection between Washington and Fordham???)
(This wreath was placed on behalf of the President today. Minus that kid's head and green hat. That's not on behalf of the President.)
On the way to Mount Vernon, Mac spotted a bald eagle perched high up on a leafless tree.
Between the eagle spotting and a special Presidents Day celebration, it felt like a very American day, and for that, we are thankful.
