I obviously did not take this picture, but I wanted to show what Monticello looks like in the early spring. Isn't it beautiful?! I can't wait to visit again.

Monticello
The Tuesday following Christmas, we took my mom to Monticello. Monticello is the former home of Thomas Jefferson. It is beautiful and the tour was very informative. I learned so much about Jefferson. His home is about an hour and a half from our home, nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. The sights were beautiful, despite it being the dead of winter. Mark and I decided we have to go back in the spring and fall, so we can see it in full bloom. I love history and am so grateful to live in Virginia.

Wow, you guys got to see lots of really neat stuff! Burke's sister Chanelle and her husband are in VA for about 5 months for his FBI training. They are in Spotsilvania (something like that). They're really enjoying it there also.
Virginia does look beautiful. I started reading The Wednesday Letters that takes place at a B&B nestled in those same Blue Ridge Mountains. Anyways, it looks like you had fun, and learned a lot.
We look so cute together
