Traveling to Washington, DC in May and June on business, I had the opportunity to revisit Mount Vernon. I had visited Mount Vernon years ago when I was a teenager and it was quite interesting to travel there again. The estate has expanded greatly since that time and now includes a large visitor center/museum. The visitor center/museum is well done and does not detract from the real highlights of the visit such as the mansion itself and the tomb of General George Washington (he did not want President mentioned on his tomb as he saw himself primarily as a soldier/farmer).
