My selfie from July 4th, 2018. I was on a 2 week road trip with a friend from middle school and her two young daughters. This was my fourth time to visit the estate, but it was their first visit. We visited DC over the July 4th holiday. We spent the day at Mount Vernon and I was able to watch a naturalization ceremony for new US citizens. It was really special to see all of those people so excited to become American citizens. One man was smiling from ear to ear as he was welcomed by a young couple. I remember thinking that George would probably be proud that this was happening at his estate. Kristin Reedy, 2018
