Happy Birthday George Washington!!!!

Jamie and C.J. outside of George Washington's Home Mount Vernon in May 2000.
We love American History and love to visit Presidential Homes and museums. It was amazing how much Mount Vernon and the White House have in common. As far as the floor plan layout!!!
George must have designed the White House floor plan after his beloved home.
Chuck and C.J. touring one of the many gardens at Mount Vernon. The home sits on the banks of the Potomac River. It is a large home that sits on a large plot of land. Visiting the slaves quarters was a sad experience.
