Monticello: Italian meaning little mountain
burial site on the ground with all the Jefferson's and is still used today for descendants.
the vegetable garden/ plantation (it was huge!!!)
they would catch fish in a local river and put them in this pond alive until they were ready to be served for dinner
an original tree stump that Thomas Jefferson planted this tree himself. They had to cut the tree down last year after a storm.
after camping we headed a short distance to visit monticello. it was absolutely beautiful and he was such a great architect/designer/inventor. his home was exquisite on the inside and the grounds were even more amazing. i would love to live there. thomas jefferson loved his monticello and i can see why now. i love visiting all the historic sites while we are on the east coast especially the homes of the presidents. i am deeply grateful for our founding fathers sacrifice and dedication.
