A good day for a ride

Got the bike out on Sunday - Michelle and Dylan followed me to Sugarloaf Mountain (hill?) where I road around some of the dirt roads, Michelle and the man-cub took a walk and we met up for a picnic lunch. Capped the day off with a glass of wine at a local vineyard.

Mount Vernon

We had a nice day out at George Washington's Plantation "Mt Vernon." Michelle packed a lunch and we loaded up the little man. He didn't seem to mind (slept most of the day). We bought year-long passes last year and it's payed off - much to see on George's property. We usually avoid the lines for the house tour and wander around the gardens and farm. On this trip I spotted an Osprey with a freshly caught fish (right talon). (Thanks to Deggz for the Birds of Prey Recce from the other side of the planet!)

Abe

Abe is all the rage in DC these days - from the Emancipation Proclamation to the White House I guess there's a bit of symbolism there.

Our first family trip into DC

We went down to see the Cherry Blossoms in bloom today. Big crowds but very beautiful. Dylan seemed to enjoy the fresh air - although he slept through most of it.
