On the last weekend in April Kent and I went to the Revolutionary War Weekend at Mount Vernon.
I can't remember how I heard about it, but it was awesome!
There were hundreds of reenactors dressed as both British and American soldiers.
There were dozens of tents set up to reproduce a camp.
Throughout the day there were reenactors speaking about what everyday life and the roles people had during the Revolutionary war time period.
This actor represented Lafayette and explained why and how he came to help George Washington during the Revolutionary war.
In the background is the Potomac River.
Below are some of the colonial soldiers.
These were the German mercenary soldiers.
Here they were getting ready to reenact a skirmish between the colonists and the British.
Here are some scenes from the battle.
The guns produced lots of smoke.
In addition to seeing all the fantastic reenactments, Kent and I toured Mount Vernon.
It was a wonderful day and we're so glad we went!
