Sunday - August 24

Wow...tonight was pretty darn special!   It was a beautiful sunny evening and we are anchored in front of Mount Vernon - the home sits on the hill right in front of us!   Mark grilled out burgers and we watched and listened as a large group of men/women/children had a picnic and concert on the rolling lawn.   Tomorrow morning we plan to tour this national landmark.
Back in Newburg this morning, we rode our bikes to church which was packed for 8:00 Mass.    It's right on the Potomac River - such a pretty peaceful setting!  As I said yesterday, it's in the middle of nowhere!   
St. Francis de Sales in Issue, MD.

We went to Capt. John's for breakfast and then were on our way.    Cruised 63 miles from Newburg to our anchorage here at Mount Vernon.    Lots of planes flying in a path around Catrina heading to National Airport.   And we know this cause Mark's phone has an app that even tells where each plane came from.....AMAZING!!!!

Mount Vernon

One little tidbit.....46 years ago tonight, Mark proposed!!!   
 And the adventures continue...

A beautiful view for sure. Remember it well from our visit to Mt Vernon a few years ago. Amazing that you can anchor there and take in all its beauty. We had overcast skies all day today with drizzle off and on. Michael remarked that most Sundays have been this way for them at the lake all Summer.

Have a good week!!! Love, Judy
