Mt. Vernon

After church we went to Mt. Vernon!!!! It was absolutely beautiful. I don't know how George Washington ever went anywhere else, I would want to just stay there.

It has not been in the family for about 100 years. The Virginia Ladies Society bought it from the family and has kept it ever since. Mt. Vernon has been preserved impeciblely. 

There is a wonderful museum about the Washingtons.

The mansion!!!!

Gardens!

The Last 2 Weeks

I got to spend 4 days with my brothers in Florida before heading up to Virginia. And boy did we pack a lot into those 4 days! I flew in at 7am on Sunday morning, played a game of nertz with Isaac's roommate and his roommates fiancé, went to church, picked Reid up and hit the parks. It was great getting to have my brothers all to myself for 4 days!!!When I flew into Orlando, Fl the sun was just coming up! As I was taking the picture all I could think of was the opening scene of the Lion King. :) 

We went on Rockin Roller coaster 2x and  just so you know, it's one of the best rides ever, tied with Expidition Everest (which we did 3x in a row).

Disney does some of the best side shows ever!!

My fellow interns and I at Access (we got dubbed Snow White and the seven dwarves by the Access team).

One of the program participants and I drew a picture together! 

One of the days of program was called Catchup day during which we catch up with each other and eat hot dogs with ketchup :)

That was the short and sweet version of the last 2 weeks! I will post more later!

Time to Say Goodbye

Tomorrow I leave! A week ago tomorrow felt like so long ago. When I got accepted in October tomorrow felt like ages away. And now I'm about to leave on this amazing adventure. And as I get ready to leave it is time to say goodbye to my family, friends, coworkers and my home. I am excited to see what God has in store for me, to meet new people and to see new places. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support over the last several months! Please continue to pray that my fellow interns and I will stay healthy, that we'll grow together in Christ, that we'll get along really well, and that our hearts will be open to whatever lessons the Lord has for to learn.
