Mt. Vernon is a beautiful place!
I love its history, the expanse of the estate, the colorful gardens, the quaint buildings, and the location near the Potomac River.  It measured up to my highest expectations. 
Don't you hate it when you visualize a place to be more grand and exciting than it really is!

I'm off to work now, but I have a lot more pictures to share!
