Monticello Trip

The conference ended and we woke up the next day and headed to Monticello! I have been wanting to go here and the family went along for the ride. It was a cool place! Unfortunately it was raining a bit, so we didn't get to spend as much time as I would have wanted. But we had several umbrellas in the car so we braved what we could.

Of course I took a lot of picture of flowers :)

This mirror has been in the house since Jefferson bought it. Imagine all the people that have looked in it over the years!

His bed chamber measures 6 feet 3 inches. He was 6 feet 2 inches tall. Apparently he didn't like wasting space.

The holes above are a closet. The door leads to a ladder that goes up there. Again, he didn't like wasting space so he put his closet above his bed.

Admiring the original books.

In front of a copy of the Declaration of Independence.

This is the back of the house. But the entrance you arrive at for the tour.

Lee's shirt says, "Crap, that's due tomorrow?" Thomas Jefferson, July 3, 1776  He got many comments!

The kids playing kick ball at our Air BNB

Heading to our Air BNB we spotted a Wegmans. We LOVE Wegmans. So we had to stop. We had everyone pick out dinner there. When my grandfather came south, he always went to Waffle House. When we head north, we always stop at Wegmans.

Start of June

Tyler got into a bag we have that holds stuffed animals. (It's like a bean bag chair, but the inside is stuffed animals) We've had it since Amy was a baby. Once he was in there, Amy rolled him around the house. I'm sure that didn't feel good!

 

Then we had a deep cleaning week! The kids did a great job. Very minimal complaints!

I got some perler beads and clay for the boredom moments. They've both been quite a success.

We went to Montgomery Bell State Park with our friends the Tipps. The Tipps kids weren't really fans of the lake.

With Amy getting her license- we needed a 3rd car. Here is Lee's new one. A black Kia Forte.

We took it for a spin to an ice cream place I've been wanting to try. We ended up eating dinner there too.

My Master Gardener group hosted a regional conference. It was a very busy but fun weekend!

Me with Jennifer Salter and Natalie Bumgartner. Natalie is the head honcho boss from Univ of TN. She's awesome, we love her.

Caught our agent, Justin, nodding off and Reggie Reeves laughing behind him.

Reggie Reeves and Autumn Schultz. I didn't get photos of the other 100 people! But our entire group worked their tails off and it was an amazing weekend.
