George Washington's home in Mount Vernon is only a short boat ride away from National Harbor. The Potomac Riverboat Company gives 40-minute narrated cruises three times a day as well as daylong trips to Mount Vernon, which include a tour of Washington's home. Cruises depart from the commercial pier and the pier at the Gaylord. Call for a reservation.
