This weekend is George Washington’s Birthday. You know him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, the presider over the convention that drafted the Constitution, and the first President of the United States.

But did you know:

He was the first man to send airmail, by hot air balloon, between Philadelphia and New Jersey. He was the only President to not live in the White House. He bred hound dogs and treated some of his favorites, Tarter, True Love, and Sweet Lips, like family! George’s favorite foods were ice cream and cream of peanut soup. He was 6 feet 2 inches tall, 200 pounds and wore a size 13 shoe. Watch out Shaq!

Now onward! Take your newly learned Washington trivia and go celebrate our first President this weekend. You don’t have to cross the Delaware to find fun things to do around here.
