Below is the view from the back of Mount Vernon. Talk about a prime piece of property. The next picture is of the front of the house. The inside was beautiful. The ceilings were very intricate (no pictures allowed) and so was the furniture. Can't even imagine living the way these people did (of course they did have to use an outhouse so maybe it wasn't so great).
The next pictures are of the Pentagon Memorial. It is kind of strange and I don't really understand the purpose of the benches with a little reflecting pool under it. They are all aimed in the same direction, even though some face one way and others the other way, which is the direction that the plane came from and they are put into rows according to the year they were born. The years went all the way from 1930 to 1998. 
In the background (the three prongs pointing up) is the Airforce Memorial.
Keep reading. The next blog takes us to Arlington Cemetery and Washington D.C.
