I first visited Mount Vernon when I was selected for a historic trades internship in 2016. I got to live right next George Washington's estate for three months and watch the sunrise and sunset every morning over the Potomac River. I fell in love with Mount Vernon so much, that my mother and, at the time boyfriend, came down to visit during the 4th of July to watch the fireworks. I was sad to leave Mount Vernon, but little did I know in 2018, my best friend would get down on one knee in front on the mansion and ask me to be his wife during the Christmas celebration. Pictured here is my husband, Curtis. We are both history and antique lovers and visit Mount Vernon when the opportunity arises. This estate will forever have a special place in my heart.
