Monticello Visit

My cousin and her family came to Charlottesville during their spring break to visit, and we went to Monticello! Brielle was fine as long as she was outdoors and not confined to her stroller. I'm glad I'd seen the house already because we had to duck out of the tour! Luckily our tickets were free since I brought some paying visitors :)
I didn't get too many pictures, Amy has the ones of our whole group. The day was beautiful and we enjoyed walking through the gardens, playing in the Children's Discovery Room, eating snacks on the grounds, touring the house and tulip gardens and walking back through the woods. We ate lunch at the Michie Tavern which is an original Inn and Tavern from Jefferson's day. Although a bit pricy, the buffet lunch was quite good and we had a great time. Thanks Amy and family for hanging out with us!

 Pretty flowers at Monticello!

 Proof that Brielle was here though she won't remember it
