This past weekend we went to Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson. We had a great time exploring the house and having fun.

Christian in front of the capital building in Williamsburg. A lot of important moments in American history took place here.

We went to this amazing plantation, Shirley, that was founded in 1650. Robert E. Lee lived here for a time as a kid, and Thomas Jefferson and George Washington spent time here as well. The inside of the house was cool, and there was even a polo field with people playing when we visited.

This is Christian standing in front of a replica of a settlement founded in 1611. It's right outside Richmond.

We went back to SVU for a funeral of one of Mary's teammates. It was a hard day for everybody, but it was nice to see old friends and teammates and talk about good times on the team. The girls in the picture were on the very first SVU soccer team.

We stopped at SVU on our way to Richmond so that Mary could show me her old school and hangouts. The buildings were really neat, and we had a great time. Here's Mary outside the main building.

this was a cool old cabin on the blue ridge parkway.
