We visited the Mount Vernon estate and Mount Vernon gardens while visiting my dear friends, Miguel and Allison Garcia. Here is a little info and a few pictures from our visit. Mount Vernon was the beloved home of George and Martha Washington from the time of their marriage in 1759. Evidence collected by archaeologists is being used to reconstruct the First President's estate, mansion, gardens, and Mount Vernon's closeby gristmill and distillery. Mount Vernon is located on the Potomac River in Virginia, about 8 miles below the southern edge of the Washington DC beltway. So hopefully when we get stationed in DC we can take some of our friends and family as well.
