Oh, I would love to go to Monticello, especially for the festival thing in September. BUT, my birthday was Monday and my husband's birthday is always the weekend of the thing at Monticello, the weekend after Labor Day, and he doesn't want to go. Sort of wish it fell on MY birthday weekend.
We will go, festival or not, though, at some point. My son studied Va. history in 4th grade and American History to 1865 in 5th grade. He starts 6th grade three weeks from tomorrow. I would love to see the gardens at Monticello in the summer but it may have to wait until fall. So much going on before we begin the school year.
Thanks for posting your pics.
