Hi Cardenonians! This is Joe...











Hi Cardenonians
This is Joe and I am writing from 3000 miles away on a Highway outside of Washington D.C. Today we spent the day at Mount Vernon, George Washington’s farm. We had beef stew for lunch on the property and took a tour with an enthusiastic tour guide named Tony. We visited all the outside grounds and learned about George Washington’s history. Then we took a tour inside the mansion. The house has 13 fire places, four floors, more than 6 bedrooms and we saw George Washington’s private study but we did not see any bathrooms. We went and saw George and Martha’s tomb and Hailey and Emma placed a wreath in the tomb. After that we went into the museum and watched a movie about the Revolutionary War. When the cannons fired the seats shook and during the battle of Trenton the ceiling snowed on us. We miss you so much and look forward to see you soon. Tomorrow we will place a wreath at Arlington to honor people in the military. Hi Mrs. Lund! We look forward to your amazing language lessons and we are thinking fondly of you.
