Mount Vernon

The Washington Estate. Front Side
Backside. I have a love (maybe obsession) for plantation houses! Being able to go to a real one was quite the event for me. This is a good one to go to. The inside was incredible (they don't let you take pictures inside or else I would have snapped some.)
The grounds of the house are huge. Washington had his own little village out there. There was stables, slave quarters, gardens, a dock,kitchens, laundry rooms, necessaries (that is what they called their outhouses. I got a kick out of it) and a lot of farm animals. It took us a few hours to see it all.

The dock on the Potomac.

Random bridge on one of the many trails.
