DAY 3: October 18, 2003
I forgot to take the camera today, so we had to use Pops' camera. Of course his memory chip doesn't work in my camera or in the computer so we'll have to download photos of today when we get home. Marcus still gives a short summary:
Today we drove to Mt. Vernon which is where George Washington lived. I saw the slaves quarters and his main house. We walked down to his Tomb where he's entombed with Martha and 20 other relatives. There was a place where all the slaves were buried too but there weren't any headstones - only a memorial. George Washington started out with 50 slaves and ended with about 217. In his Will, he freed them all.
We went through the museum too. I got to see his teeth. I thought they were going to be wooden, but they are actually lead (based) with human and animal (enamel) on the outside.
I didn't go into any of the movies because they had blood and gore.
At the end, we went to see where Mom lived when she was a little girl, in Centreville, Virginia. WE got lost, but I got to play my gameboy so it wasn't too boring, just really long.

Oh my. I did not know that George Washington had 217 slaves. It is pretty cool that he freed them in his will. I think it would have been more cool to free them when he was alive though.
Got Lost??? Not Pops:) What happened to the GPS?
His camera should be able to download his pictures to your computer by using the same cord that you use for our camera.
Okay. Now I will look at day 4.
Love you and see you soon.
Working hard still and it is 6:33pm. Getting ready for LID day and watching the Seahawks. They are losing :(
