I always love visiting Mt. Vernon and learning about the father of our country. George Washington was larger than life at just under 6 feet three inches tall and 225 pounds, he was a physically intimidating, yet graceful (he was recognized in many historical documents as an accomplished dancer and horseman) leader. He truly was a principled leader and his distaste for the dishonor of retreat almost cost him the war in New York. By many accounts the man lives up to the legend. It's just a short trip away to see an American Treasure.
