Mount Vernon



Day three with Jen and Brandon was spent at Mt. Vernon, a hop, skip and a jump from our very own estate. It is an amazing place, sort of like a historical Disneyland without the rides and with way better views. There are people in period dress walking around, and we got to see Martha Washington sewing and a real blacksmith who makes things that are used on the farm and estate. Our neighborhood is located on one of George's five original farms which qualifies us as "neighbors" of Mt. Vernon. We can get passes and special invites throughout the year. I can't wait to see the house decorated for Christmas!
