Day 4 (part 1): Virginia

Today we visited two places: Monticello and Shenandoah National Park. First, was Monticello which was the home of Thomas Jefferson and his family. We toured the main floor of the house and got to see some of the original furniture, which we all thought was pretty cool; cause how often do you get to visit a president's house? After the house tour we walked around on the grounds where we checked out the gardens that had around 330 different types of vegetables and where the enslaved workers lived and worked. We then did an activity where you try to write with quill pens and ink; and we soon learned it's harder than it looks. The last stop was the grave of Thomas Jefferson and his family.
