Monticello

Monticello has been one of the highlights of our trip so far.
Learning about Thomas Jefferson, his influencers as as well as his influence.
He had many inventions, many many writings, and his legacy: His Abode.

We enjoyed his house, as well as his gardens and surrounding trees and orchards.

the children on the immense rear lawn.

This is not the original grave marker, but has the same inscription.
Jefferson was most proud of his work on the Declaration of Independence.

Jason is thinking of reading some of the authors that influenced Thomas Jefferson, such as John Locke and Thomas Paine. :)
