Washington DC - Day 8

Saturday morning, we headed out relatively early for Mount Vernon (with Brian and Tyler). We toured the house and grounds, saw George giving an interpretive talk, etc. They had an adventure map for the kids to complete as they toured; if they finished it correctly, they got a free prize in the gift shop. Maya thought that was fun. We grabbed a quick lunch before heading out.

In the afternoon, we met Sarah and Claire (who had a birthday party to attend in the morning) at the National Harbor. They had a carousel (we've done a lot of carousels on this trip), a playground, a little beach/sandbox, and the capital wheel, a huge Ferris wheel right on the water. We frolicked, had some dinner, got some cupcakes, fought a nightmare of a parking garage parking jam, and headed home.
