Presidents' Day - Part 1

Mount Vernon

We celebrated Presidents' Day (George Washington's birthday) in the best way we possibly could. Mt. Vernon was packed with people from all over, but we loved it even so. George Washington's mansion had some original furniture and was painted with the original colors. We saw the room where the Marquis de Lafayette stayed, Washington's bedroom where he passed away, and his study with the swivel chair he used during his presidency.
