Monticello

Sorry for the delay, Gabi Fans, but while Daddy is taking a break from studying for his big test, here's pictures from the rest of our trip up to scenic Charlottesville, VA. We spent a day at historic Monticello (you know, Thomas Jefferson's house) and learned lots of neat things. Normally, we'd spend time sharing some interesting back stories about the slaves who lived there and all of Jefferson's cool inventions lying around his house, but since I'm pressed for time (and since you're probably just here to see pictures anyway), let's go to the pics:

Daddy and Gabi getting ready for our tour.

Gabi stands on some stones marking where a slave house used to be.

The tour guide thought she was being distracting. She can't help it.

Some cute pictures with Mommy in the lovely garden behind the house.

Jefferson liked to collect flowers from all over. Gabi liked to smell them.

If you look behind the cute little girl, you can see the actual house.

To see what the house looks like sans-Gabi... go look at a nickel.

The stables were right underneath the house.

No horses here, so Gabi wasn't too interested.

Gabi found a funny tree next to the house.

She's decided to say "pizza" for these pictures.

You know, because cheese goes on pizza.

Gabi wanted to sit on the grass, so we did.

Gabi finds a leaf and shares with Daddy. Whoa. Deja vu.

Gabi does some exploring on her own and finds some pretty flowers.

Gabi was starting to get tired after a big day of exploring.

That didn't stop her from walking on this wall with Daddy.

Taking a nap on the ride back to Charlottesville.

Charlottesville Historic Downtown Mall

Where we returned again for some yummy dinner and a couple more photo opportunities.

And that's all I have to say about that. Good night everybody.
