DRIVING HOME THE OTHER DAY WE CAME ACROSS A MURAL

 Two or three weeks' ago our GPS took us by, but my reactions weren't fast enough to take a photo.  

 Last Sunday we were on the same road and I remembered the mural in time to get my cell phone ready.  There were a lot of cars coming and going, and it wasn't possible to stop.  I took my photos from the passenger seat, and kept my fingers crossed.  

I looked on line but I couldn't find anything about the artist, or that of his work. It shows George Washington on the right with the Colonial Flag behind him (famously connected to Betsy Ross, who is said to have made the original - there's a story), The Capitol on his left and the Washington Monument on his right.  His home, Mount Vernon, is further along on the left. The mural was on the side of a hotel and next time we drive by I hope to get its name.

Some great quotes by George Washington are at this website.  

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.
