Mini Road Trip to Mount Vernon

Finally, after almost six years of living in DC, I visited Mount Vernon. The timing was ripe, as I am on disc 2 of the HBO mini-series, John Adams and my $7 entry-fee provided by Living Social was expiring the end of March.  So with the windows down in the car, I took in the warmth of the 70 degree spring day and ventured outside my standard 5-mile radius for a “mini” road-trip to General Washington’s country estate: Mount Vernon, VA.
