Not So Wordless Wednesday: Washington DC #4




Another one of our repeat stops on our DC field trip was Mount Vernon.  Next to the Newseum, this is another favorite.  Unlike in the city, this location is very rural and peaceful, nestled on the banks of the Potomac.  The grounds are gorgeous, and beg for a stroll.  The rockers on the back porch overlooking the river also beg for a book, an iced tea and a nap.

Mt. Vernon was one of my favorite visits in D.C. We sat on the back porch for a while :)

I've been to Washington D.C three times but never made it out to Mt. Vernon. It does look like a lovely, peaceful place.

I have only been there once, years ago. I must return...thanks for the reminder.

I saw my first cardinal while at Mount Vernon, so that's always the first thing I think of when I see photos of it or hear people talking about it.

Ah, yes -- Mount Vernon! That's a favorite local haunt, and I believe they offer free admission on federal holidays. Spencer keeps talking about going back!
