Mount Vernon

We spent a good part of our Saturday at Mount Vernon, which is probably my favorite spot in the DC area. It has undergone huge changes since our last visit. They have added a new orientation center when you enter the grounds and a new museum and education center as you depart. We could have easily spent another hour or so there.

The building connected by the breezeway on the left was where the servants of guests to Mount Vernon stayed. The building on the right was the kitchen.

The greenhouse - the backside of the greenhouse included some of the slave quarters.

Washington's first resting spot. A newer tomb was finished later.
