We were on a family trip exploring famous sites from American History and had already seen Monticello and Independence Hall. We hadn't planned on visiting Mount Vernon on this trip. But we were headed home on 95 and got stuck in traffic. We realized that Mount Vernon wasn't far from where we were stuck so we made a detour to visit. The kids wore the hats they got from Historic Williamsburg. It was the perfect addition to our trip. Christine Fleshman, 2016
