Man of Enlightenment


Today we took a detour and followed the Skyline Drive to Monticello and saw Thomas Jefferson's house. The Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park)was very pretty and worth the trip. Stunning panoramic views! Thomas Jeffersons house was cool. Truly a man of enlightenment (much like me, Dougie) and the best thing about going out to see it was that we spent a lot of time in the car with a/c because its freakin' hot out here. Then we drove to Williamsburg and took a night ghost tour around the town. That was scary and very fun and interesting. Our tour guide reenacts the Civil War battles each year in July (Gettysburg) to keep sharp on his knowledge of the era. Imagine doing this is wool suits! EEk! Tomorrow we are touring the rest of Williamsburg, seeing Jamestown, and then going to the Chesapeake Bay for some R&R.
