The first pictures from Day 1 of Mount Vernon are now available on the Coy’s flickr site. There are some great shots at the mansion and the company on the water in the skiffs. The photo gallery on our webpage will be updated in the next couple of days.
There were a ton of people at Mount Vernon, taking advantage of the nice weather. There was a ton of interaction with the public, most of whom were trying to figure out what the redcoats were doing at Mount Vernon. The demonstration of the landing and negotiations with Lund Washington went very smoothly. Most of 4th Coy found themselves in one of three small boats manned by the British Navy from HMS Otter. Looking forward to a repeat tomorrow! Anyone in the Washington area that hasn’t been to Mount Vernon in a while, tomorrow would be a great time to go. The landing demonstration will be at 1 in the afternoon.
