Mount Vernon with the Valentines

Sarah's sister's in-laws live near Baltimore. Which means they live near us. Which means we jump on opportunities to see Bekah, Mark, and their 3 any time they're visiting MD. On this particular day, we all met at the home of George Washington - Mount Vernon.

Sarah loves Mt Vernon and was glad for the opportunity to see family and dabble in early American history. Concerns about how interested Addie would be quickly subsided when the girl cousins started chirping about how excited they were to be there. They're big fans of a movie about the Revolution called 'Liberty's Kids.'Their enthusiasm was only powerful enough to interest just Addie, however. Nora remained pretty unimpressed. But the weather was beautiful and there was lots to explore.
