Saturday Snapshot: George and Martha

Mount Vernon, April 2011

My sister and I visited the Washington DC area a couple weeks ago. On a day with amazingly good weather, we took the tour of Mount Vernon. I'd already been there several years ago, but this was the first time for her. Highlights include admiring the vivid colors of the interior walls/rooms; baby lambs; sharing a tasty tuna sandwich; and seeing George's teeth.

I love visiting old historic places like this. We were at Monticello a few years ago and we saw a lot of really cool stuff - except Jefferson's teeth! lol; April 30, 2011 at 11:13 AM
