Tim and I have taken the kids to Westmoreland State Park several times, and other than digging for sharks' teeth or throwing a ball in the water for the dog, it's been your basic trip out. Every time we go, we pass a sign for George Washington's birthplace. Tim and I finally decided that since we had no plans today, why not take the kids to go see what's out there? It's a national park, so there is a one mile hiking loop and miles of river front.

| Howdy park ranger! |
 |
| Garrett (the "other GW") got in on the action. |
 |
| These iron gates were at the front of the Washington Monument replica when it was built in 1909 on the park's property. The monument is 1/30th the size of the one in DC. |

| Enjoying the cooler than usual weather. |
 |
| Such good kids, learning even when not in school! |
 |
| This log cabin was a little creepy--set off the trail a little bit, no one around...we took the pic and high tailed it out of there! |
 |
| You can see the monument replica across the farm fields. |
 |
| These hand made benches are every where and I want one! |
 |
| The original house burned to the ground, so this is the one they rebuilt. |

| Baby cows in the field! |

| Emily had the best seat in the house! |
