Out the hotel window -Charlottesville
It was a great day yesterday. We decided to take a weekend away and used some travel points I had to get a hotel and zipped, more like slogged our way in heavy traffic, to Charlottesville, VA for an infusion of history and some wine.
Out my hotel window is pretty boring a sight, but at least we do not face another building directly. And the sky is visible. I can see the humidity hanging in the air this morning and I know it is going to be a very humid day.
Yesterday we enjoyed Monticello again. I continue to be fascinated by Jefferson and I learn something more every time I visit. The last time I was here, it seemed they focused upon Jefferson the intellectual. This time, they were very apologetic for Jefferson the slave owner.
We did manage three wineries yesterday and bought a few bottles to share.
Today, more wine and some time with James and Dolley Madison.
Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there!
