Monticello

Today we made it into Virginia. Drove through part of the Applaichine Mts, a little windy but pretty. I think it would be really awesome in the fall witht he changing of the leaves.

We were planning on heading straight to Williamsburg so that we could get settled and check out the town, however we took a three hour detour to Monticello. It was a good detour! The girl's needed a break from the drive and since we didn't really have anything planned we changed thing's up and stopped. The house and grounds were beautiful and very interesting. We had an awesome tour guide that really enjoyed what she was doing. Kayla took lots of pixs of everything. The weather is great, the high was in the 90's today and it is suppose to be 99 tomorrow. It doesn't feel that hot at all, it feels perfect. We will freeze when we go back to MO and it is only 70.

We found the resort without a problem thanks to Tom Tom, Felipe or Jose...haven't decided what the GPS name should be. :) Mom and I then headed to Wal-mart to buy food for part of the week. I was exhausted and didn't feel at all like cooking when we got back so I stopped at KFC and bought a bucket of chicken. I did throw together garlic bread and mashed potatoes and called it good.

She girl's and mom are in bed in their room with the tv on and Tim and I are in the living room...I am fading fast and will hit the bed very soon.

Here area  few pixs from today:

Sounds like you all are having a great time. Tell the girls we all said hi and missed Kayla at ball practice. Hope Tim is feeling better. I'm enjoying reading the blogs, keep them coming.
