Last weekend we ventured to a local historical venue. Big Sister had been asking for months to go to Mt. Vernon to see George Washington's home. We enjoyed walking the grounds, touring the Mansion and exploring the new Education Center and Museum. The Little Dudes enjoyed learning about George Washington and Big Sister was able to relate to the Washingtonian era from her American Girl readings about the character Felicity.
Little Dude M cracked me up later when he referred to George's home as "St. Mount Vernon." He told me that George looked like a "Saint." He was old, had grey hair, was a brave man, and "helped" make America. George was definitely a remarkable man and he made an impression on this five year old.
