Charlottesville

This morning we explored Monticello – Thomas Jefferson’s home. We took three separate tours of the three story home, Jeffersons gardens, and slavery at Monticello. There was a table set up (in the shade) where the kids could play games that jeffersons grandchildren played at the time, and you could try your hand at calligraphy with a quill pen. Overall very well done and glad we went first thing in the morning since it’s super hot in the sun!

Walked through the mall popping in and out of stores and saw the General Lee statue where locals have been staging protests to keep the confederate flag flying. 

We then went to UVA, stopping into the John Paul Jones arena and church where friends of ours got married. 


Dinner at South Street Brewery and we called it a night!
