Today could not have gone better! Grandma and I took our time eating breakfast and getting ready to go. the drive was relatively traffic free (and I love the George Washington Parkway, it is a beautiful). Grandma got a kick out of the GPS Recouculating every few blocks toward the end, I'm not sure why it was hell bent on us getting off the parkway when it took us right there!
Here are some photo's of our adventure. . .
It surprised me that they had a working blacksmith on the property (now). I expected the people to be charicters, reinforced by the fact that the blacksmith's cabin was relativly cool on the side we walked in. When I noticed the guy was covered in sweat I had to go over and investigate. A window was stratigically placed so us guests could see what he was up to. The fire tipped me off that he was real. The lady watching over him said that he made all of the nails and iron work for the property.
In honor of fathers day George himself graced us with his presence to give a his history. After we were done learning we jumped in for some photo's. His outfit must have been very uncomfortable as it was not made out of cotton (wool I think). He was hot!
Here is George speaking to Grandma.
And a photo of the house from the Patomic. It is a little blurry but one of the better one's.
