Breakfast with George

Since it's President's Day weekend, Kate, Chris & I made the trek on Saturday morning to Mount Vernon on Saturday. Instead of doing the house tour, we strolled the grounds and got to meet George. Actually, Mama got to meet and get a picture taken with him. George, being well over 7 feet tall and regal in his uniform, was a little too imposing for Kate, so she stayed away from him. Mama loved the trees on the estate - especially the walnut tree that was planted in the early 1800s!

Aida said "Ms. Beth is with George, but why isn't he talking to her?" I am glad to know that we were not the only family braving the chilly temps to spend some time with the General.
