Depart Salisbury (Walmart, Route 13 - North) Depart Cambridge (Walmart, Route 50) Depart Easton (OLD Lowes, Easton bypass) Arrive in Alexandria, VA to pick up our step on guide. We will arrive in Mount Vernon. Upon our arrival to the Ford Orientation Center, we will enjoy a 20-minute action-adventure movie, We Fight to be Free ,which is shown in a pair of luxury theatres. The film depicts a heroic and charismatic Washington at pivotal moments in his life. We will meet our Mount Vernon Docent who will take us on our walking tour around the grounds and at significant stops throughout the estate. They will give us a broad overview of General Washington’s accomplishments, character, and vision through the estate he created here at Mount Vernon. It culminates in a private wreath laying at General Washington’s Tomb. Your tour will conclude at the line to the Mansion. Enjoy a 3-course lunch at the Mount Vernon Inn with a hearty helping of colonial charm served up by wait persons in period costume. Enjoy the afternoon on your own touring the gardens and grounds as well as the gift shops. Or take advantage of the fabulous new Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center. By exploring 25 galleries and theaters, visitors will learn about Washington’s exceptional life and accomplishments through interactive displays, a major movie, short films produced by The History Channel, and high-tech, immersive experiences. Three life-size models created by a forensic anthropologist and a team of interdisciplinary experts will depict Washington as never before seen at three significant stages of his life-including as a land surveying teenager-which will dispel the elder statesman icon and encourage people to think about Washington in a new way: an incomparable American hero who evolved from a young man of modest means into this country’s first and greatest president. Depart Mount Vernon and make the short drive to Old Town Alexandria where you will have some free time to browse the antique and specialty shops and boutiques that give Alexandria it’s quaint, small-town feel. You’ll understand why George Washington chose to live near this once-thriving seaport, years before he chose the site for the nation’s capital. Board the coach and head for home. Arrive at the Cracker Barrel in Stevensville, MD for dinner (on your own). Arrive in Easton, MD Arrive in Cambridge, MD Arrive in Salisbury, MD
