Another fun filled day in beautiful Virginia. We spent the day hanging out at Jefferson's house. Such a smart and educated man that: and a book collector to boot! The tour guide gave the children the challenge of finding all the clocks in Thomas's house (naturally, he has a great affinity for clocks and the keeping of time.) I must admit that I too took on the challenge and sought the praise of our tour guide but he didn't seem so impressed when he asked the children at the end of the tour how many clocks they had sighted and I shouted above the rest "12!!" In the end its fine that he wasn't impressed with me because I think his last name started with a Z.
We picnicked, we toured, we jumped, we passed judgement, we oggled the gardens, and we enjoyed ourselves!!
The rejoicing of life
The undulating walls of intellect
Thanks for another remarkable day! It was so well spent and the company was superb!

Come again!
Great pictures! But even better, your captions! Always a favorite for me! :)
Splendid!
I was reading about Jefferson just before reading this. So this was quite timely, thank you.

Thank you for always making me literally laugh out loud (LLOL). That anecdote about trying to impress the tour guide at Monticello was what finally got me.
(P.S. We're friends with the artist who did the Jefferson sculpture you're posing with! He's in our ward and did that cookie trophy my mom so proudly has in the kitchen...)
