Mount Vernon

Sunday we spent most of the day touring Mount Vernon and the grounds. What a beautiful view from Mount Vernon, it was easy to see why Mr. Washington loved this place.

 My best shot of Mount Vernon

 Door to President Washington's office and office window. Just imagine the conversations and meetings that took place here.



Washington family tomb. George Washington's remains are on the right .

 

Did they find a cherry tree?

I think these 2 may be raiding Mr. Washington's garden.
