At one point I was worried that the event might not take place because of the government shut down but no worries. Mt. Vernon is run by a private association and receives no Federal moneys.
Flew up to D.C. with one daughter and met the other one with her hubby and their next door neighbor. By the time we got to Mt. Vernon we were a party of eight. We got there early to get a good spot facing the river. We spread our blankets on the lawn, listened to jazz and sipped and noshed. It was a beautiful warm October evening. The General and Mrs. Washington were on the front porch to greet visitors and pose for pictures. Did I get my picture taken with them? Of course and it was posted on Facebook by my daughter.
Had a fantastic time at the Wine Festival and spending time with family and old friends. Can't wait to do it again next year.
