We've been so grateful to live close enough to Mount Vernon that my children feel like they are practically growing up there. Each season there is something new -- the Colonial Market in the Fall, Aladdin the camel at Christmas, baby lambs in the spring, and the Neighborhood Friends picnic in the summer. They love everything they can learn about "General Washington" and feel strongly about protecting his home. (So do their parents!) We miss it and can't wait until we can come back! Ann Somerset, 2017
