Monticello (top - Jefferson's Estate) vs. Mt. Vernon (bottom - Washington's Estate)
Monticello was probably the site I was most interested in seeing, so was very excited to see. It was ‘awesome’ in every sense of the word…but was surprised how I found myself comparing it to Mt. Vernon. Jill and I felt that Monticello was more realistic and came across as a ‘home’ that was actually lived in as opposed to Mt. Vernon which had more of a feel of a museum. It is important to note, however, that we liked the museum/presentation style of Mt. Vernon more than Monticello.
