Sightseeing and getting settled

So after I got all my stuff up to my fourth floor apartment, I spent quite a while getting stuff moved in where I want it. There's still a few boxes here and there (mostly stuff for the office). I will be taking pictures soon and posting them. Stay tuned...

I got to do a little touristy stuff with Mom and Dad the other day. We went to Mount Vernon which is where George Washington lived. We spent most of the day there looking at the house and all the other buildings that were on site. We also went through the museum which had Washington's actual dentures. The entire place was amazing and the weather was absolutely beautiful!

We also met up with my cousin Keith and went into Old Town Alexandria (not far from where I live). He showed us around and we had a bite and a few beers at an pub. We then walked down to the river and saw quite a bit of street performers.


Here are a few pictures:

Here's the front of Mount Vernon.

This was on the bank of the river in Old Town Alexandria. This guy was playing incredible songs on glasses. It was amazing!


Here's mom and I at a pub in Old Town.
