Birthday Eve

We went to The original George W's birthplace yesterday. It is situated on the potomac and Pope's Creek just past Montross. It was another gorgeous day, just perfect for the short walk through the grounds. The buildings onsite are all new reproductions but in the visitors center there was a display with artifacts found around the land. Those were my favorite part. Tommy was just jazzed about the whole thing. We are already making plans to go to Stafford Hall which was the Home of the Lee family. We are also planning to check out Mount Vernon - Washington's plantation as an adult, which I understand is supposed to be pretty impressive.

On the way home we stopped at one of the many produce stands and bought some pots, veggies and a mixed herb planter. I really love the fresh produce around here.

The most important thing that happened yesterday is that at the ripe old age of 43 years and 364 days old, Tommy ate his first orange. I was shocked. I knew he always said he didn't like them but I didn't realize he had never even tried one. Now he is a convert. He has managed to get over the "yucky" looks.
