Oh - wow - had no idea LaHood did something right.
Thanks for the ping and hope to be able to follow that highway sometime soon.
Mount Vernon is not on it?
That’s my favorite President’s home to visit.
Well, The General’s place is a wee bit off 15...but the Mount Vernon’s Ladies Association has done a fantastic job over these years. And the new museum is stupendous...does not ruin the look of the estate.
Mount Vernon is a wonderful place to visit. So much history there, and the museum is a must see.
It has been re-restored to a place of beauty, grounds and all. And you come away with knowing just what a great man Washington was, and how that greatness has inspired generations.
It must have been very hard for him to be away from Mt. vernon during the Revolutionary War, sleeping in a tent in cold and hot, and knowing the battle and the Cause could be lost if he erred. Rather than a life of ease he had earned, he fought for the country you and I would someday call home, and for a legacy of freedom.
He indeed was the father of our country.
