The Original American Idol
The man who “was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen” recently visited Oklahoma. George Washington made an appearance at Colonial Day at the capitol in Oklahoma City on Friday, January 16 courtesy of Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens. He appeared as a guest on a talk show, The Original American Idol, with the George Washington Teaching Ambassador. After an informational interview with fifth grade students, the General appeared on the program again at the Oklahoma Department of Education’s Social Studies and Fine Arts Workshop. President Washington gave the teachers many moments of amusement when he answered questions about Royal Gift, his donkey from the King of Spain. The Ambassador has already received emails about the General’s educational performance.

That first picture is awesome! I love your Martha hat. :D
I bet that was a phenomenal time. How generous of the General to take time out of his busy schedule to make it down to Oklahoma. :]
