When you’re unemployed and mostly useless, like us, you have to find something to do to entertain yourself. You can only watch so much Sponge Bob, go to Home Depot so many times, and search the classifieds for jobs that don’t exist so often, before you have to do something else to occupy your time. Thankfully, there are a few new places to check out. So yesterday we went to Fort Washington on the Potomac River, a fort originally constructed prior to the War of 1812 to defend the capital from possible British invasion. It worked fantastically! The British landed a little farther south and just marched around the fort right into the city where they set everything on fire. Good job, Fort Washington. Anyway, it was pretty much like every other fort that we saw down south: brick walls, big canons, and humidity. Being an early American soldier would have been fun.
Are you being serious? It's hot, and I had just about fallen asleep in the car.
Wow, Dad. This fort looks exactly like the last one.
Right where she belongs. Behind bars.
Look, I brought a wheel!
Strolling along the brick walls!
Yeah, yeah... 
Wait... what?
Quick! Hide behind the wall where she won't see you!And that's it. As far as forts go, it wasn't exactly the most interesting. Nothing really exciting ever happened, but that's probably how you'd prefer it if you were ever stationed there anyway. And for us, now it's back to uselessness.
