This was from George's birthday at Mount Vernon. I saw the site was free to visit that day and I immediately jumped at the chance to share my favorite Presidential home with my new boyfriend Chris Downey, (we are now planning to be married, how time flies in two years). He fell in love with Mount Vernon and now shares the same affinity for the site as I do. Rebecca Hoffman, 2018

I'm a former US History to 1877 teacher turned registered nurse. I was on a class trip for my MSN program to the Sigma conference in November 2019 in Washington DC and on our last day, we happened to go to Mount Vernon. Needless to say, this was a dream come true for me. I needed a picture in front of the house among rooms and other areas of the estate. I will never forget my first trip to Mount Vernon and plan to bring my children to see this important piece of our nation's history. Cynthia Buster, 2019

This is me and my mom, Wendy in the photo. I had always wanted to visit and we were on our way back from DC after a difficult weekend. My grandmother, mom's mom had died in October and we were wrapping up estate stuff right after Christmas. I instantly fell in love with Mount Vernon and we had a much needed mother/daughter visit following a difficult period. We also ate at the restaurant and I haven't stopped thinking about the corn bread since. Rebecca Hoffman, 2016

We had the great privilege of living near Mt Vernon for a year, and you better believe we became members during our time there! My daughter was 4 at the time, and loved every chance she had to chat with Lady Washington. We always felt so welcome, and Lady Washington was so cheerful and sweet to our children. I asked my daughter, now 7, what her favorite memory is and she said it was attending the teddy bear tea party with Mrs. Washington and learning about her pet bear. Astrid Donovan, 2016

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

My husband and my first trip to Mount Vernon. We loved it and walked around for hours despite my being 9 months pregnant. We lived in the area for for 4 years and frequently brought both of our children and they loved the grounds. We visited for all of special days our son was a huge fan of the re-enactments!
