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

This is my father, my father's brother, and my older son visiting along with my husband, younger son, mother, and mother's brother. Both uncles coincidentally happened to be in the DC area, even though one lived in L.A. and the other in New York, and we decided to take the kids to Mount Vernon to see the mansion and the animals, which they loved!

My husband and I are blessed to have 21 grandchildren. We decided when the first three grandchildren Alli, Jake and Ben became teens in 2013, we'd take them to visit the Washington D. C. area. We chose Memorial week-end since it was the beginning of summer and many patriotic activities took place in D.C. We saved the final day of our trip to visit Mt. Vernon, which they agreed was their favorite. Since we had so much fun we returned in 2015 with three new teens - Luke, Anna, and Elizabeth. Before returning to St. Louis we again enjoyed a great day at Mt. Vernon. Two years later on Memorial week-end 2017 we returned with three new teens - Mark, Will, and Grace. Each time we returned to Mt. Vernon we learned more as tours changed or improved. We planned to take three more grands this year, but due to Covid-19 we are holding back, yet hope by the 4th of July 2000, it will be a healthier safer country and we can return to Washington D.C. and Mt. Vernon with Adaeze, Sophia, and Jack. Jenni Loynd, 2013

My wife, Jocelyn, and I are Cupola Society members and we frequently walk the Mount Vernon Estate with our black labrador, Sally. Having lived in the Washington D.C. area for over 35 years, we feel fortunate to live so close to President Washington's home and to able to visit so often. We bring every out-of-town guest to walk the Estate with us and to enjoy the view of the Potomac River from the back portico. David Hunn, 2020
