JR got a visit this past weekend from his Aunt Mimi and cousin Jamie. It was a busy weekend. He joined them for a tour of the Capitol (which he slept through), went to a couple Mommy-and-me classes (one of which Jamie joined him for), was baby-sat Saturday night (while Mom and Dad enjoyed a "date night"), and finally, made a trip to Mount Vernon (where he saw.... wait for it... a CAMEL!!!!!)
You've all heard of the Christmas Camel, right? Maybe something to do with those three kings? Actually, this one was at Mount Vernon for the X-Mas season because in 1787 George Washington brought a camel to his estate "for the enjoyment of his guests". He paid 18 shillings for it. Apparently that sort of thing was all the rage at that time. Who knew?
