Home

We made it home last night (driving home through some rather heavy rain) after spending Friday at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's house in Virginia, and Saturday afternoon at a family reunion in PA.

We pretty much slept, rested, and read today away. I did get out to mow and trim the yard this evening. Thanks, Tim, for getting my weed whacker up and running during our week away!

If you haven't been to Monticello, and find yourself in Virginia, we highly recommend taking the tour. Plan to spend the day as there's lots to see and learn.

Here are some snapshots from Monticello:

Jefferson was a trend-setting gardener.
