This was our first day at sight seeing altho’ we only spent a half a day at it. When we got up Mom and Pop had gone into the city and left us behind but they told Mrs. Bonner that they wouldn’t go sightseeing without us. Pop took the car down to put it in the shop. Anna and I didn’t do much but talk all morning. About ten we went over to the old fort to look it over, then we went back and got the camera and took some pictures from the wall. Mom and Pop and Lawrence (he went down with them) came back from town on the boat at noon. After lunch Pop, Mom, June, Anna Louise and I went over to Mount Vernon by water. We crossed the Potomac and were met by the commanding officer at Fort Hunt (across the river) who took us to the trolly which we took to Mount Vernon. We stayed there until four. Just as we got off the trolley it started to rain. But as soon as we got into the boat it stopped. After supper tonight we listened to the radio. While we were gone a telegram came from Steve asking about my where abouts. This fort was planned by the planner of Washington. And this house is a hundred and seventeen years old. It’s so cool and lovely here.
Jane's Notes: I guess they must have been visiting the Bonners. Cool in Washington in July? Must just be the contrast with Manila.
