May Trip
For our annual May vacation we planned a trip to Charlottesville, Virginia, to visit the homes of Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe (all within about 20 minutes of there).
After that we were going to Washington DC for a few days, but decided it would be too much. We postponed the DC trip, and spent four days in Charlottesville and two in Knoxville on the way home.

Monticello
The first night we drove to Waynesboro, VA, ... about 30 miles west of Monticello on I-64. The next day it was up and off to Mr. Jefferson's home at Monticello.

Pool at WaynesboroThis picture is from the visitors center at the base of the small mountain leading up to Monticello (at the risk of going all Ben Stein in The Wonder Years on you ... Monticello means Little Mountain in Italian).
The rest of these pictures are at the main grounds of Monticello ... beautiful mountaintop views, vegetable and flower gardens. We also took a tour of the main house. Great day.
