Monticello Trip -Thanks Nana & Papa!

We were treated to a trip to Monticello and Michie's Tavern by Nana & Papa for our Anniversary. It was a great time. Joseph is a huge fan of Thomas Jefferson so he was "disney excited" the whole time. I enjoyed the house tour the most of any historic home I have toured. T.J. truly was an amazing man. Learning about his life was inspiring.

In front of T.J. grave. It's awkward to have a photo by a grave. Should you smile cheerfully or go for the grim look?

Michie's Tavern. Delicious. I enjoyed the fried chicken, pulled pork, and the fireside dining.
Dessert is the best part of any meal... It was really cheap too! Peach cobbler & two fudge cookies outside of very creamy vanilla ice cream. yum!

The best root beer I have ever had. "old dominion" is the brand.


Isabella tested the sturdiness of the table with her 12lb self. (It held.)
