Monticello

Today we visited Thomas Jefferson's home and gravesite. He was a fascinating writer, president, architect, scientist, inventor, and free thinker. The things he was most proud of are listed on the marker at his grave:

1. Author of the Declaration of Independence
2. Author of Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom
3. Father of the University of Virginia

His home was amazing and interesting to say the least.

Tonight we are going bowling and out to eat. Tomorrow is our big day at Kings Dominion and the scouts are very excited about that.
