East Coast Part 2: DC

Before we headed to DC we stopped by Martin's (Ukrop's) one last time to get a fudge pie and some tacos from Casa Grande next door. I grew up going to Casa Grande all the time. I loved their tacos... and they still taste the same! The cheese is to die for and I was in heaven. After that we headed to Northern VA to go see Washington's house, Mount Vernon. Simon had never been.

After we went to Mount Vernon we headed to Jeff's (our bro-in-law) sister's house to have dinner with his family. We love them. We got to see Michelle, Adam, and Aiden; Sarah and her boyfriend Tom; Matt and his girlfriend Amber; and Emily. It was so fun to hang out with them. I am so sad we forgot to take a picture. After that we headed to our hotel and got ready to see DC the next day.
