Day 21: Sunday, the 20th of July, 2014

Today we went to church. I felt so much at home in the church. It was good to go 
to church again. 

I got to steal a precious few moments on a piano. We ate lunch and headed off to some homes where Grandpa stayed on his mission (he served in this area of Virginia).

At about 5, we went to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home. 

It was fantastic. He has a bunch of inventions around his house. My favorite was a stand that held five books at a time, and spun around so he could cross-reference.

We got to see the gardens, the slave quarters, kitchens, and such.


That’s all!

Monticello had the most perfect gardens I've ever seen

The house you see on the nickle 


Enthusiastic and Radiant


Snug as a bug in a rug, only cuter:)


Enchantress, Expressive, Jefferson, and Enthusiastic

This tree was wrapped all over in some sort of vine, which had been severed about where my hand is

A staring competition...My money's on Jefferson (sorry dad); he has iron control over his eyelids and face
