Steve is a history buff. Didn't know if you knew that or not. It gets really annoying, especially when I can't remember anything about history. Glad I'm out of school! While in Virginia we visited Monticello and the Michie Tavern. This tavern is now a restaurant and they give tours of the whole house. It is circa 1784. If you go, be sure and eat the cornbread. Delicious!
Half a mile down the road is Monticello. Home of Thomas Jefferson. This view of the house is actually the front, but the back view is more well known. Every time I tour one of these historical homes I'm amazed at how short they must have been back then. The beds are tiny! Did you know that Jefferson had his own bible? He took out all of the miracles!
