Mt. Vernon

I also got to make a flying trip through Mount Vernon (George Washington's home), which was pretty cool.  I decided to fore go the tour through the mansion itself, mostly due to the limited amount of time I had, but I learned a lot about the man which isn't in the history books, specifically about the portions of his life BETWEEN chopping down the cherry tree and being President.  He had quite a fascinating life, and he did much to shape our country, even beyond what you may already know about.  Well worth the visit.

 
All the same, I was very glad to get on the plain and leave DC for a less humid climate.  Would I go back?  Perhaps - but definitely NOT in July!
