Mount Vernon

Here's Emma in front of Mount Vernon, home of George Washington. Highlights of this stop included listening to a woman dressed as Mrs. Washington discuss waiting for the General to come home from the war, a tour of the home, and, Emma's favorite, the "Hands on History" tent. There children could try on period clothes, brush wool, build wooden buckets, go into a soldier's tent and handle his supplies, and play corn darts. She really enjoyed throwing the dried corn with a feather on the end through a hoop. Mom and Dad played that one too -- Mom won!!! Can you guess who's writing this post??
