Thomas Jefferson's Monticello

To celebrate our 3 year anniversary Paul & I went to Charlottesville to explore some American History sites.  We toured Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, also known as Thomas Jefferson's 'Little Mountain'. I wouldn't mind living on my own 'little mountain' one day, especially if it looked like this one.


The house is amazing!
Jefferson was the ultimate tinkerer



That is a tree trunk Paul is standing in, Wow!




South end of the House



The Gardens



Grave Site



The house is beautiful but check out those tulips!  
My favorite picture


We had a wonderful day at Monticello in the spring sun.

Thanks for an amazing 3 years Paul!

    very cool. I 'm so glad you guys took a trip to see that place. I'm still trying to get Holly to come out and bring Jefferson. I think he would love it!

      Have you been? I know I've heard you talk about Monticello but I can't remember if you have had gone or just wanted to go.

      I did finally see the tulips down main street in Blacksburg, they also look fantastic! I just cannot get over how beautiful spring is out here!
