George Washington was more than an outstanding man.  Although we have visited Washington D.C. a number of times, this was our first visit to Washington's home, Mount Vernon.

Sharon L and our friend Mike Tune

Anyone who studies the life of this founding father will be fascinated by his vision, integrity, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit.

What a view!  The front yard overlooks the Potomac River.

Just days ago, the new educational addition to Mount Vernon was opened which features interactive exhibits about his life.

Have you been to Washington D.C.?  Ten years ago we visited the FBI building and took the tour that has since been discontinued.  Ford's Theatre was an interesting and sad visit.  If you get a chance, go see how our paper money is printed.  Also, the Smithsonian Museum provides more opportunities than anyone can reasonably fit into their vacation time.  What is your favorite memory of our nation's Capitol?
