Mount Vernon

What an incredible privilege to walk where President Washington walked, climb the stairs and touch the banister he touched, see the room where he took his last breath, and even see his teeth! I didn't quite know what to expect of Mount Vernon, but it was worth the trip! Even better that we were able to spend the day with our China friend Jill and her sweet boys Riyan and Gus. Annie and Riyan were adopted at the same time...we met in a crowded play room at the China Hotel in Guangzhou and have been friends since.
