This was a spring break trip I took my girls on 3 years ago, to see our nation's capital, and Mount Vernon was a lovely highlight. My older daughter and I appreciated the historical context, and my 9yo (pictured) loved exploring the picturesque grounds. We are from Florida, so the cherry blossoms and other springtime blooms that were new to us were such a delight! Tara Moreno, 2017

On July 4th, our daughter Hayley was invited by the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) to deliver a public address on the grounds of Mount Vernon. That year, Hayley was the national winner of the SAR's Joseph Rumbaugh Oratory contest, and she reprised her winning oration on "freedom of speech" prior to a ceremonial visit to General Washington's tomb. We were invited as a family to join the earlier procession down the front lawn of Mount Vernon, in company with other descendants of Revolutionary War patriots. The photo was taken during that procession. Ernest Snowden, 2014

Mt Vernon is one of my favorite places to go. Love learning history and it is all brought to life through the setting and the historical interpreters. I love this shot I took of the mansion, It makes me feel like I'm visiting President Washington (the actors who play the President and Lady Washington are amazing). I am looking forward to coming back to Mt. Vernon when this is all over. My meet up group just lost a member recently, Mt. Vernon was one of her fave places to go. The group is planning a trip in her honor. Linda Schwartz, 2016

This is a photo of my kids on July 26, 2014. I took them to visit my college friend and her family in Virginia. My son had read a book about George Washington and was excited to see his house. My daughter enjoyed walking around the gardens and taking pictures of the flowers. It was a great day! Christina Escobedo, 2014

Pictured with me is my daughter, Charlotte Alavi, who was eight or nine at the time. My husband, daughter and I visited Mount Vernon for a day trip. We enjoyed our mansion tour and had lunch at the food court. My daughter asked us if George Washington use to eat there, too! Amanda Sigillitto, 2010

My parents, Paul & Cathy Troutman, sister Jennifer McGrath and her children Tyler, Jonas and Libby of Ashland, Pennsylvania, stopped at Mount Vernon on November 29th, 2012, while on our way to Norfolk Naval Station in Virginia. It was our first time visiting this historic site, and we were very warmly greeted as we entered the gate by someone familiar with our hometown in Pennsylvania. To visit at the onset of the Christmas holiday was an opportunity to see first-hand how President Washington and his family celebrated in the 18th century. To this day, we still have not attempted Martha Washington’s special family Christmas “great cake”. Forty eggs and four pounds of butter! Wow! Nick Troutman, 2012
