Day 6 (George
Washington–Mount Vernon Estate, Museum & Gardens) October 9, 2012
It’s History class today – We
made to the historic home of George Washington and his family. The estate is situated along the shores of
the Potomac River and is one of the most scenic attractions
in the Washington, DC
area. I drove along the Potomac River via George
Washington Memorial Parkway. This scenic road connects Washington
DC attractions and historic sites
stretching from Great Falls Park
to George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate.
LiChun’s “Wow! Fantastic! No words to express!” uttered at different times, when DC’s skyline view
was into the sight. She was completely
in awe when the sun rays penetrating the leaves and the depths of woods. It
presents a captivating view that fills the heart with bliss. We vowed to make the trip together again
someday in our life.
George
Washington, Commander-in-Chief of American forces in the Revolutionary War and
the first President of the United States,
called Mount Vernon home. As far as we
know, the cutting of cherry tree myth was just a way to show Washington's
honesty. There was no such fact recorded in the history book.
