Wine?  Did you say "enjoy wine?"  I'll be right there.

Roy's (is that a Chrysanthemum?) looks gorgeous.

Elizabeth, you conjured up pleasant memories for me. When my children were in grade school, I took them to Mount Vernon to see the home of George Washington. Almost of their friends went to places like Disneyland. Their friends went by plane, we went by train. We dared to be different and we had the best time ever!

Roy - thank you. This is the first time this event is being hosted. I believe it will become an annual tradition.

Lloyd - wine seems to be part of every event around Washington, DC. You would feel right at home.

Rob - thank you for stopping by. The event sounds like lots of fun. I hope Vols don't disappoint you. 

Patricia - sounds like you and your kids love adventure. I can see why your daughter lives in Europe. Mount Vernon is a great place to visit for all ages - we try to go there at least one a year.
