Day 4 Celebrate America's Independence

The first highlight of my fourth day will be when we take a breakfast cruise up the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.

The Potomac River is the 21st largest river in the United States. On the average, 486 million gallons of water from the Potomac are used daily in Washington D.C. 

Next we'll be visiting George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate. My group and I will participate in a full day of special events in what's called a "Red, White, and Blue Celebration." 

The Vernon Estate was named after George Washington's half-brother's commanding officer, Edward Vernon. George acquired the estate in 1754 and eventually made it into a 21 room mansion. The link below takes you to a virtual tour of the estate:

The final, and probably the most spectacular part of my day and possibly my whole trip, is when we get to see the Washington D.C. fireworks display while taking in the best views of Washington D.C.
