   Today we went to see Mt. Vernon. We had to take a short walk to a ZIP CAR (which is a rental car that is parked next to sidewalks for poeple to rent.) and about a fifteen minute drive to Mt. Vernon. When we arrived at Mt. Vernon we bought year passes and went to the visitors center. (You can get year passes for about ten extra dollars compared to a regular ticket, and only one extra trip with a year round pass saves you money, so its a good choice for poeple who want to go there several times.) The visitors center had a museum with things like Goerge Washintons bottom dentures, the Diamond Eagles, one of which was the one given to L'Enfant by Goerge Washintons grandaughter, and many other exihbits. At Mt. Vernon itself there was a tour of the mansion set up, (no extra charge) and many singposts around the grounds that gave you information about the area you were in. Luckily for us, we came at the time that many extra things were there that come in anually. Some of these being, a camel that was just outside of the gate to the mansion area, a tent that had people demonstrating how they used to make chocolate, ( Free samples!) and the third floor of the mansion was open to the public. There were many buildings surrounding the mansion, as well as many outlying buildings that were out of the inner grounds. There were many interesting facts about Goerge Washington that a lot of poeple didn't know. After we finally left Mt. Vernon we started to drive back to our apartment. However, we had to get some things first. After we finished the errands we went to the Five Guy's Burgers and had dinner. They served the best burgers I've ever had from a resturaunt, not to mention the french fries. The french fries were not served in little paper bags or cadboard cups. No! They were served in styrofoam cups put in large paper sacks then dumping load after load of fries in the bag untill it was full to the brim. After signing a heart attack waver,  we sat down and had a good meal. (The "waver" part was a lie misderection  fabrication.) Later, we went back to our apartment and went to sleep.
