Monticello

On July 17th, we decided to go spend the day up at Monticello. We enjoyed learning more about Thomas Jefferson (he also founded UVa) and seeing such a monumental piece of architecture. It was beautiful from the outside and quite unique and somewhat impractical on the inside. Thomas Jefferson strikes me as the classic Renaissance man who tried to think of everything he could do differently and then try it out. Somethings were cool, and some things were just a little ridiculous (like the super skinny staircases). The grounds were beautiful and it was awesome to see the surrounding area from the hill.
