Christmas Galore

I really wanted to have my Travel with Me – Seattle post ready for you today, but I’ve been busy traveling, working, and enjoying time with family here in Texas! That post will probably be after the holidays. I thought that as a replacement, I’d give you a glimpse into the rest of our Christmas activities we did in the DC area before leaving for Texas.

Christmas Candlelight Tour at Mount Vernon

I was unable to take pictures in the actual house, but it was a really neat tour. The guide told stories of Christmas at the Washington’s home. It was really neat, and I highly recommend it if you are in the DC area around Christmastime.
