Mount Vernon
Here are pictures from our Valentine's Day trip to Mount Vernon--it was a beautiful day, if a bit chilly, and we had fun seeing the home of our country's first president. It was the anniversary of his birthday the day we went (he'd have been 277) and so they had a guy decked out in colonial garb acting as Washington (you'll see him in the photos--and yes, Washington was tall like him, 6'3" to be precise). The very best parts, in our view, were the animals. Washington prided himself on being a farmer, and the estate today has sheep (lots of 'em), bulls, guinea fowl, hogs (very funny looking), and horses/mules. The barn area also had tons of cute little field mice. They were adorable, and so much so that we took a video, which is below the pictures. Overall, it was a great time, and we definitely recommend a trip to Mt. Vernon to anyone who likes American history. Also, the attached Mount Vernon Inn, where we went for our V-Day dinner, was great, though the prices were a bit steep.

Great pics and cute mouse video! Funny how cute mice can be sometimes, but then other times, not so much!
We went to Mt. Vernon when I was maybe 11ish, and I remember alot about it and enjoyed it then. I'd love to go back someday. Glad you guys had a good time there!!
