Our 14th Anniversary

I really should of posted this before Halloween, but late is better than never. So our 14th anniversary was on October 23. We celebrated on October 22 because Kyle had football practice on the 23rd and so he couldn't watch his brothers. This is a picture of us at dinner at Mount Vernon (or George's house as Zack calls it). We live literally right down the street from George's house and have never been so we decide that for our anniversary we would go. We got up in the morning and got there around 9:30 am. Zack went with us because the boys were in school and he was very excited. We told him we were going where George Washington used to live and as we walked the grounds and went on the National Treasure tour (there is not really a tunnel from the Potomac River into the house) he kept asking when we were going to George's house, like he was just a friend of the family. We hadn't planned on taking him into George's house, we were going to do that after we took him home to Kyle when he got home of school at 3pm. But we just had to take him because he seemed so excited about it. As we are standing in line he starts saying we are going in to see George now, so we tell him we can't see George he isn't here. He is then very persistent as to why he isn't here and why we can't see him. We tell him that George is dead and he gets a little worried and asks what happened. We explain that George lived here a long time ago and he just got old and it was his time to go. He was happy with that explanation and as we are going through the house he had to tell all the tour guides that are in all the rooms that George isn't here because he is dead and that is why he can't see him. Then for like a week after he tells everyone that we went to George's house and George is dead. Everyone is then asking us who is George and what happen.

So at 3 pm we took Zack home to Kyle and went back to George's house. We walked around the grounds some more went to George's tomb and then at 6pm we went to dinner at the Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant. We were sitting in a back corner and after about 45 minutes we practically had that whole part of the restaurant to ourselves. The food and wine were great and we had a quiet romantic dinner.
