Bridge Collapse and George Washington


A bridge over I-5 collapsed this week just north of Seattle.  I was showing our kids a video clip taken from a nearby security camera that actually caught the bridge collapse.  The news story listed Mount Vernon as the location of the story.

Me:  Obaachan worked with someone who is from Mount Vernon.

Ryan:  Was it George Washington?  That would be really cool.

Me:  That's funny Ryan.  How old do you think Obaachan is anyway?

Ryan:  No, I just thought it would be really cool.

Of course, he was thinking about Mount Vernon, Virginia which was George Washington's home.  Nevertheless, I was impressed that Ryan remembered this.
