On our final touring day we decided to take the 14 mile drive south to Mt Vernon, VA. This was the mansion of George Washington. We were able to go through the house and around the grounds. Washington was truly an intelligent man.
After we finished up at Mt Vernon we drove into the city of Alexandria and visited the Carlyle House, a Mansion on the river that was built in 1753 and restored in the 1970’s. After that we walked around town before stopping for a late lunch and a stop at Starbucks before heading back to our motel.
Currently we are packed as much as we can be for an early departure tomorrow. Over all a very good trip, one that we will remember and share with our grand kids some day.
