Funny, we have a similar tradition in our family. Every time we see the Mount (and we're there all summer and see it several times a day) one of us yells "the Mount" and then the rest of us chime in "the Mount." I guess it's getting kinda old.
Reading through the posts, I notice that so many of us had traditions when we were younger at which our kids now roll their eyes or we simply don't participate. When I was a kid, we had certain things that the whole family said as we passed certain landmarks on the way to the Lake. Once we got off Rte 93, all the kids were on the edge of our seats trying to be the first one to yell out the familiar phrases. I thought we just didn't do stuff like this anymore until I reread what I wrote above and pictured my kids yelling "the Mount" several times a day.
