8. MT. VERNON AND ON TO WASHINGTON, DC Travel from Williamsburg this morning to the magnificent Mount Vernon estate of America’s first president, George Washington. Overlooking the Potomac River, the setting couldn’t be more spectacular; explore the state-of-the-art interactive museum, the 18th-century mansion and landscaped grounds.

9. A DAY IN WASHINGTON, DC
The relationship of journalism and politics, explored in-depth in Ken Burns’s recent film “The Roosevelts,” underlies much of Washington, DC’s 225+ year history. Today you’ll get perspectives on both, beginning with a sightseeing tour that features views of iconic Washington sights such as the White House, Capitol Hill, the National Mall, the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial. On a visit to the Lincoln Memorial, you’ll have an opportunity to see the poignant memorials to those who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. In the late morning, arrive at Newseum, a captivating museum filled with interactive exhibits that take you behind the scenes to examine everything from current events to the role of a free press in a free society – and how news coverage affects our shared experience of historic moments. The remainder of the day is at your leisure. Meals B

EXCLUSIVE – INSIDE THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES First up today, a Tauck Exclusive – early admission to the Rotunda of the National Archives for a private viewing of America’s founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, with welcome comments by a National Archives insider.
