Every morning started with a walk. The kids were in heaven with the responsibility of taking care of the dogs.
We then went to Michies' Tavern for an 'authentic' colonial meal. We were glad we got there right at 11:30 when it opened. The line got really long quickly and when we came out it was almost wrapped around the building. The food was very good and filled us up quickly.
Monticello was amazing. The visitor's center was all new since the last time we had been.
The kids loved the discovery room where there was a lot of hands on activities. Here Ethan is using the copier machine Thomas Jefferson designed.
And Preston is building his own Monticello.
After touring the house and grounds we headed up Carter's mountain. It was a great view for sunset and also Bea and Ben recommended that we go there and get apple cider donuts for dessert. We got there just before they closed at 6. The donuts were better than I expected (I don’t usually like donuts, especially cake type). They were especially yummy after dinner that night, toasted with ice cream.
Bea made dinner, a yummy tortellini, sausage and veggie stew with fresh baguettes and salad.
