Our family in front of the Mansion.
Our good friends Adam and Camille Phillips were in town visiting and met us at Mount Vernon.
It was a very hot and humid day. We did a LOT of walking. We were exhausted afterwards but it was worth it because the property was beautiful! I am sure it would be a lot more enjoyable to visit in the spring or fall.
A picture of part of the farm.
They had a few horses and some pigs.
There were a few people dressed up in costumes. Our kids wanted their picture taken with this lady out on the farm.
You can take a 40 minute cruise on the Potomac River. We bought season passes and are planning on doing this sometime within the next year.
This is a view from the back lawn of the Mansion.

George and Martha AKA Geoff and Adam. :)
Kaylee's favorite part was playing inside of the Hands on History room. They had dress up clothes, a giant doll house, baby dolls in a cradle, books, and coloring pages.
We had a lot of fun with Adam and Camille. One night we met them in the historic part of Annapolis for dinner. Another night Geoff and Kaden met them at a National's game in DC. It was a lot of fun catching up with them. We were sad they had to leave.

We have plenty of pictures we are planning on sending to you guys...so you can update your blog. We had so much fun!! Thanks for the good times.
How fun!!! Looks like a great day. I remember we went there and we stopped at a little place to eat (maybe right on the grounds?) and I got some really yummy peanut soup. Glad you guys are having such a fun summer!
Definitely a beautiful place to go--but I think you're right, Spring/Fall are much better times to visit. But at least you had great friends to visit with!
I love how you are always planning fun outings for your family! Years ago when I visited DC my favorite place of all was Mt. Vernon - it is still just as beautiful! And I must say, your Pinkalicious Party was adorable!!
That looks like a nice place to visit:) Yes, it has been SO hot and humid. Maybe we will visit in the fall, thanks for the tip.
Sorry we missed you when you came down, but I hope you call us next time you are that close. Especially if you do the boat ride. That looks fun.
