Frederick Douglass House

After a lazy morning doing school work and not getting out of pyjamas until about 10am, we headed out to Frederick Douglass house. The children enjoyed touring the house, and particularly counting the 7 bedrooms! Afterward we viewed a half hour video about his life, his escape from slavery, and his many achievements.

The house sits atop the best real estate in DC - a gorgeous hill - and from the house you can see all the way to Maryland, and at a push, Virginia
