By George, we love Mount Vernon.

Is there a more useless show on TV than Ghost Hunters? Please let Andy know, and I'm sure he'll season pass it.

Anyway, we put our annual passes to Mount Vernon to use yet again this weekend. Here's the storyline of our trip in pictures; see exhibits 1-4.

1. Alexa immediately took over photography duties upon our arrival. The only thing more ostentatious than her oversized pink digital camera was the pink, fur-trimmed Hello Kitty bag she used to carry the camera.


2. Noah, as we have come to expect, proceeded to pay attention to nothing. The important thing to note in the picture is the closest tree, immediately behind which is a medium-sized bench.


3. When next I saw Noah, he was mid-air, flipping head first over the previously mentioned bench. He later agreed to pose for a picture although his fall, accompanied by scrapes on and under his nose, had put him in a foul mood--hence the forced smile. Those injuries got added to a prior burn on his hand and allergy-swollen eyes. Yes, he was quite a sight.


4. We ended our outing with a relaxing and informative boat ride on the Potomac River. Look out, Spirit of Mount Vernon, there's a new showboat in town--Spirit of Alexa.

It was a photo-op day at the Roussel Roost.
