Hello Tamara, that must have been a fun field trip to go on.  There is so much history to be seen in your area, and the Fall colors are nice too!

Dee: I'm glad that I always bring my camera along when I chaperone field trips. I get to see lots of places that I wouldn't normally see.

Kathy: DC has so much history, and there are a lot of tales behind a lot of the land here.

Tim and Pam: You're welcome. Definitely a great fall view.

Thanks for sharing your photo Tamara.  I took the opportunity to look up George Mason on wikipedia and now I would like to go on the tour you took as well.  Sounds fun.

Hi Dan, the Gunston Plantation house looks small today, but I would imagine that during the time, it was considered to be a magnificent mansion.
