More from our trip






These photos are all from Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville, VA. The home and the grounds surrounding it were very beautiful, it's in the foothills of the mountains in a very picturesque area. On the day we were there it was a bit rainy.

I was very impressed with how brilliant Jefferson was, he not only was a prolific author but an inventor as well. Unfortunately no photots are allowed inside the home but there are some interesting rooms and stories that are told during the tour. Monitcello is also on the nickel as is Jefferson's profile. This was just another part of our wonderful trip. Still more to come, the war memorials, and the Louisville Slugger Musuem.
