Escape #6

The stats don't lie, but we are honestly trying to keep Astro from escaping. I think he was embarrassed by his low escape numbers in 2008 and has kicked it into high gear. Fortunately, no dog bath was required.

On a different note...I attempted to take the girls to Mount Vernon today.
Lesson #1: buy tickets online beforehand
Lesson #2: 5 and under are free for a reason! Kristen was not impressed, except for the goats and sheep.
Lesson #3: plan to spend the day. a couple of hours is just a tease.
Lesson #4: There are no horses at "The Stable". Lauren was VERY upset by this. Saddles and carriages did not cut it.

It is definitely worth the trip and I plan to take them again when we can spend more time checking out the estate and gardens.

And, in case you were wondering, we did not take Astro to Mount Vernon.
