The Christmas Camel

It was sunny and in the 50's today here in incomparable Northern Virginia, and so we decided to go to Mt. Vernon for a nice walk and diversion.  They open the third floor of the mansion only in December, and we knew the annual Christmas camel would be there.  Some of you might remember the camel.  He's brought in every Christmas because George Washington brought one in for the holidays in like 1797 for the entertainment of his guests.  Some might also remember a blog posting of several years back, when I seemed to be irresistible to said dromedary.  Alas, he seemed unimpressed with me this time.  Herein I offer photos of this most pleasant day.  Enjoy!
