Monticello with Katie



The last weekend in October 2007, Katie (one of my roommates) and I visited Monticello, which is the property where Thomas Jefferson lived. We toured the first level of his home, as well as his gardens. It was pretty incredible. The perfect day with perfect fall weather -- the trees were so beautiful. Turns out Thomas Jefferson is a bit of a genius. It was cool to see all his little knick-knacks in his house, and to hear the explanation of why he planted certain trees, and the formation of how he planted his garden. He sure was a thinker! Katie and I had a great time, and even had the chance to get a little silly. :)
