Mount Vernon

Brian is a History major (and might I add he's due to graduate this summer--yeah!). His last credits require him to do some research, and he has chosen to study George Washington. Since one of his last business trips took him out to the DC area, he took some time to visit Mount Vernon. Although I know it helped him create a bit of respect for the old man Washington, I think he secretly desired to see the grounds and gardens because that is his other passion.
This is an old pear tree trained along a wooden fence.
A vegetable garden with grass pathways....
semetrically planned out.

It was hard to choose among the many photos he took of the walking grounds and different gardens, they were all lovely, ornaelty designed and planned. No detail left unoticed by Washington, he was a man of many talents and has inspired Brian in many ways.
I'm glad he got a chance to do something fun while he was traveling....it was a rough month for him!
