National Harbor
We came to the District for the 2013 No-Kill Conference and stayed at the Wyndham time share at National Harbor.
Room With
We reserved a room with a balcony, so...
River Living
... we'd have a view across the Potomac.
Mt. Vernon
After the conference strayed across the Potomac to visit Mt. Vernon.
The Escape
NICE place to "run-away" to.
Toasty
It was a HOT summer day in Virginia.
Doll House
A nice model helped orient you while visiting.
Greeter
You're greeted by George, and...
Greeter #2
... Martha with her kids from a previous marriage.
Close-Up
While visiting we learned that Martha was the one with the money, George married well!
Some Yard
The front lawn looked really nice.
Self-Sufficient
The Washington's would have been self-sufficient to the extent they could.
Herbs
They even had an herb garden.
Close-Up
The house and property look great.
Nice View
The estate is right on the banks of the Potomac River.
Porch
No issue with flooding here.
Rocker
We needed a break to sit and relax.
Guard
Who's she guarding?
Almost
I almost got a photo with no one on the back porch.
Lookout
I don't recall if the lookout was usable.
Kitchen
It looked like their slaves could feed a LOT of people.
Wheels
For touring the countryside?
Tomb
I don't remember why it took so long to erect George's tomb.
Nice One
It sure looked nice.
Hello George
Our Founding Father.
Not Sure
Hmmm, What's behind this door?
Slave Memorial
A nice touch remembering those that served.
Taxi
Some taxi stand on the Potomac.
River Walk
Nice place for a stroll along the river.
Really?
I didn't realize they had gutters and downspouts that early!
Salve Quarters
There must have been a lot of them.
Mug Shot
He's put on a few pounds since greeting us!
Park Visit
We stopped in the park along the route back to see National Harbor.
Which One?
Do you think you can find our balcony?
