Monticello visit

By Amity -
We ventured to Charlottesville today to visit Monticello which is Thomas Jefferson's home and then onto the apple orchard (pictures in next blog) we go to, which is only 2 miles from Monticello! Monticello was an amazing place and we all learned some history. The kids did very well on what was mostly an "adult" tour and enjoyed running around and having fun. Mac took some pictures on his own and did a fantastic job of it too! This is a very worth while place to visit if you come into the area.

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
