A few years ago we decided to take our vacation during the 4th of July holiday. My in-laws had purchased a trailer in Rehoboth Beach, DE earlier that year and we took them up on their offer of letting us use their trailer.
The summer before we had Michael, we decided to do something different for 4th of July. It had been many years since my mom and I had gone to Mount Vernon and Jon had never been. What's a better way to celebrate the birth of our great nation than by visiting one of our Founding Father and 1st Commander in Chief's home, George Washington?
I'm finally getting around to writing about our 4th of July. This was actually the first year that we've participated in the activities here in Leesburg, VA. Before we had Michael, we were not too big on going and seeing fireworks so we generally stayed home. Sometimes, if the fireworks were high enough, you could see them from our deck. The past two years we've been out of town for the 4th.
