George Washington's Mount Vernon

Gain fascinating insights into the life of America’s first president at this beautifully restored country estate set on the shores of the Potomac River.

George Washington's Mount Vernon
This state park is five minutes from my from door. It was $5 to park, but we pretty much had the whole park to ourselves. You start out walking on a maintained path through a wooded area, which turns into a swamp and leads to the cliffs and beach. The swamp is my favorite! I love the prehistoric looking plants and the wildlife. The cliffs are a well-known destination for shark tooth and fossil hunters. The red trail was a four mile round trip out and back. It was humid in early September, but a wonderful hike!
