Party Like its 1799!
With the father of this country
Welcome to Mount Vernon and Northern Virginia’s Pursuit of Happiness experience. From colonial to contemporary, Northern Virginia is a one-stop shopping for best-in-the-nation history, arts and culture, shopping and dining. George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens was the home to the ABA sponsored dinner event last night.. and to kick off the night, visitors were able to take their portrait with George Washington and party like its 1799 (photo to be posted at a later date)! We were able to enjoy colonial dancing and amusements as Martha Washington served her infamous rum punch. Corn whiskey was also served.. which is basically moonshine. Let’s talk about how NOT delicious that is.. but hey.. when in Alexandria, right!? We were able to savor Arlington’s cosmopolitan flair with exotic hor d’oeuvres and live flamenco guitar. From there we entered wine country, joining a steeplechase tailgate party, sampling local wines, while placing bets for exciting interactive horse racing. A wonderful experience and fun night. 1799 was a great year!
