Mount Vernon

I'm 37 and have lived in Virginia since I was a year old but until today I had not been to Mount Vernon. It was great; the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association has very knowledgeable guides and the agricultural/plantation exhibits were extremely well done. I also appreciated the "guides in every room" approach to getting through the house. Here is the wikipedia link. The Potomac River setting is striking; if there is a better view from a home in the Country I would be shocked.
