Mount Vernon
Washington's home, this is the place from which he left to fight the war, to which our first President retired, and where he is currently interred - even though he was to be encripted in the Capitol building, his wish was to be at home.  The country has honored his wish.

Enjoying the grounds behind the house.  The view from Mount Vernon is spectacular!

 
 
We cannot forget that Washington was a man of his times and place.  As a Virginia plantation owner, he did own slaves and they lived in quarters much like this.

 
 
Note that this one room was their sleeping, eating and all-purpose quarters.
