Another fun weekend trip in DC!! This last weekend was probably the the most fun I have had out here in D.C. Me and Alba decided to go on a real adventure! We rented bikes and biked the Mount Vernon Trail to Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. We biked about 25 miles through gorgeous trees and landscape. It was beautiful with all the leaves changing colors and falling all over the place. It was an all day adventure that wore us both out! It was totally worth it though. Mt. Vernon was full of fun. We got a buggy ride, roasted apples over the fire (YUM!!), and even made dolls! Here are some of the pictures that we took throughout the day...

Me and Alba getting ready to head out! The bikes were so comfortable, for the first 3 minutes!!

We finally made it to Mt. Vernon. I couldn't feel my fingers (or nose) because it was a little chilly! I don't know if we were supposed to ride over the lawn, but it wouldn't be the first illegal thing I have done!

This is George Washington's Mansion. It was beautiful inside and almost everything was still the original from that time. This tree was planted by George Washington himself! It is the oldest tree on his whole estate.
