Monticello, VA (USA)

We got up early and drove over to Charlottesville. It wasn't too far, all interstate. The weather was nice - it had been snowing a lot (west of Richmond). When we got to Monticello, we bought tickets and then toured the grounds. The kids were very impressed with Thomas Jefferson's house and the design of the estate. After we left, we drove over to James Monroe's plantation to look at it (we didn't stop) and checked out an old mill. On the way back to Hampton Roads, we visited Pocahontas State Park.
