Gemini Rising

50 STB - Ol' fashioned Whisky Dominion Style - Virginia

We’re off to see the Old Dominion state. Personally speaking, I think “Old Dominion” is just as bas ass a state motto as New Hampshire’s which IS the BEST – “Live Free or Die.”

Maid of the Mist Most Macabre was told she couldn’t drive the Party Bus right up to George Washington’s mansion, so we had to park in the boonies and walk ½ mile to the house. I love history so I was totally into everything. I dragged my ass everywhere, taking my time. Giant Phantom Jelly really wasn’t a big George Washington fan being from the UK and Maid of the Mist Most Macabre wasn’t too impressed either being Canadian, but hey, someone like George had to do the dirty work of leading the Continental Army. I will say both of them seemed impressed with George Washington’s dentures.

Reluctant Halloweenist , WakeUpAndLive~gummy worms BOO , and Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose loved walking around the farm and seeing the animals. Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose pet all the sheep. She wanted to take one home, but then thought better of it. She didn’t want Peyton to get too sniffy around it.

Spooky Kooky Krista and AmyJo-Zombie hours took a couple of minutes to take a time out and smell the fresh cut grass as they watch the Potomac River. There were a couple of eagles trying to catch fish which fascinated them.

Me and A Warped Witch I Be were really interested in George Washington’s Distillery and Gristmill. Honesty, the old fashioned way to distilling looks like an art.



A Warped Witch I Be charged up her emergency hooch bottle and I snuck a couple of personal sizes out in my Kate Spade purse.

We all went to the Mt. Vernon Inn for dinner.

Reluctant Halloweenist insisted on trying the Hoecake appetizers. Giant Phantom Jelly wanted the fried green tomatoes to go with her salad. Heck, I was game for the Peanut soup. I can honestly say there were some interesting menu items on the menu! Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose AmyJo-Zombie hours WakeUpAndLive~gummy worms BOO Maid of the Mist Most Macabre Spooky Kooky Krista kept it safe and got the Turkey Pot Pie. When everyone wasn’t looking, A Warped Witch I Be and me had a sip of the bootleg whiskey we smuggled out of the distillery. After a nostril spitting gag and a some choking noises we managed to convince Reluctant Halloweenist that the Heimlich maneuver was not needed.



I would definitely go back to Virginia again!
