Our county offers awesome programs through the parks and recreation. It is a luxury for us while we are living the student life. In April they offered a day trip to James Madison's Montpelier and Jefferson's Monticello. We had travel guides, transportation, and a lunch at
Michie Tavern. I forgot my camera so these are pictures from Brittany and Christen, thanks ladies.
The fun crew. Brittany, Lissa,
Marcie, Nichole, Chisten, and Me
Brittney captured the essence of the Madisons. I was quite impressed with them.
Their home was just recently restored. In one room they left some of the original walls exposed. It was amazing to see the way it was built. They were still working on getting the interior furnishings back or close to the originals, but I kind of liked seeing it in it's raw form.
Can you tell we were starting to get hungry?
Off to Michie Tavern for a old fashioned lunch, yum.
The tulips were in bloom at Monticello.
These girls are leaving us soon. Sob.
We tried on all of the time period hats in the gift shop, the one of us wearing lace bonnets was just too cute to post. The day went by way too fast, but it was a blast. The husbands were great to watch the kids.
