The Home of our First President


Mount Vernon was the home of our first president, George Washington, for forty years. George Washington was a great military leader. His house is visited by thousands of people every year. It is located above the Potomac River.

My favorite part of my visit was seeing a wild osprey. I also enjoyed the beautiful Potomac River. I think that people interested in history should visit there.

I'm glad you got to see Mt. Vernon. George Washington is one of my favorite people from American history. I've never been there, but hope to go someday.

I'll be back to visit again soon.

Mr. Travis,
I did not get to see the museum, but next time I go I want to check it out.

Thanks for stopping by.

Well, Will, I'm assuming this is the big surprise!!! It was well worth the wait, and I'm extremely glad that I remembered to look. I love the Chronicles of Narnia also. I think I must have read them at least seven times. Now I know two bloggers. Keep up the good work!

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging, Will! It's pretty cool to have your own corner of the world wide web, ain't it!!?

"My favorite part of my visit was seeing a wild osprey."

OK...You are obviously a fantastic kid if this was your favorite part of the visit! I am an avid "birds of prey" watcher and thrill over seeing them in the wild.

My wife and I stopped at Mount Vernon a few years ago, and decided not to go in. If I had known about the osprey...well, it have been a different story.

Mrs. Margaret,
I'm glad you like my blog. Thanks for commenting. I'm glad to know someone else that likes the Chronicles of Narnia.

Mr. Danny Kaye,
If you would have liked the osprey, there is also a bald eagle that lives there. I didn't get to see it, but next time I go I'm going to try and spot it.

Thanks for visiting and commenting.
