A Trip to D.C. Day 2: Mount Vernon


Chris was reading Washington, a Life, by Ron Chernow before, during, and after our trip to D.C., so Mount Vernon was definitely a highlight.


The Potomac from Washington's porch.









The models in the museum were based on a paster facecast Washington had allowed to be made of his features during his life, based off of which, with computer models, Washington's face at different times of his life was recreated.
