I've just spent several very enjoyable hours jumping off from the first link you provided, reveling in the history of George Washington, his homes, his life, early America, etc. What a ride.
Thank you very much.
You're quite welcome! I am a big history buff- I really enjoy haunting the history related sites around here.
Washington was an exceptional and fascinating man. The more I read about him, the higher my opinion of him goes.
I'd drive over to Mt. Vernon tomorrow, but I did that last year on 'President's Day', and it was a zoo. I'll wait for spring to come, then do it in the middle of the week. I hate crowds.
President's Day BTW- is a HUGE big deal in Oldtown Alexandria, Virginia. There is a spectacular parade there- re-enactor units and actors playing the presidents and each of the armed services sends a platoon-sized drill unit. It's really a lot of fun to watch.
Hello there Gretchen! How are Ya? Thanks for coming and I'm glad Riley placed those links for you & others to explore! Cool!
