Happy Birthday Mr. President

G.S. Williamstown's portrait of George Washington taken from the web

G.W. would be 277 years old if he was alive today. This weekend, there were celebrations all over N.J. Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative. It started raining around 11 a.m. and was drizzling on and off the entire afternoon.

Here are some photos taken at Dey Mansion in conjunction of G.W.'s birthday. I hope you'll find them enjoyable as we had taking them :)

A traveling merchant and his wares. Say what's in the cart?

Well, a bit of this and that. Stuff soldiers would buy like spoons, fur hats, blankets, etc.
