Heading East

With filled bellies, hearts and a stuffed car we headed east to visit friends for New Years.To break up the long drive from Missouri to Virginia we stopped at Monticello. The weather, although cooperating with driving, was less than pleasant and we dashed in and out of the chilly rain to marvel at the splendor and opulence of this mansion. The history, the architecture and the setting makes for a must see stop and we were glad we made the time.
