This sculpture, created by J. Seward Johnson, depicts a 72-foot giant struggling to free himself from the earth and is actually five separate pieces buried in the ground. The statue was originally at Hains Point in Washington but was moved to National Harbor in 2008. Feel free to climb all over the giant; everyone else does.
Jump aboard a cruise ship from National Harbor's dock for a water tour of Mount Vernon or Alexandria and Georgetown. The trip to Mount Vernon includes admission to the grounds.
