Mount Vernon George Washingtons Estate & Gardens

I went here last summer on a family vacation. I thought we were going to Mount Rushmore... I was never really interested in history. I was pleasently surprised with the estate and loved seeing all the different rooms and learning the history. This is a place for the whole family.

Great place to visit! Fun and educational for kids. They have wonderful wine tasting there twice a year. They also sell great wine in their gift shop. All employees are dressed in character and are very friendly!

George Washington's Estate, located in Alexandria, VA is wll worth the trip if you are coming to visit DC. The site has been preserved, so you can see what it was like when George and Martha lived there. Be sure to check the website for their special, open house events, which are great. Be sure to eat in the little inn for lunch....also a great experience.
