{Spring Break} A Presidential Virginia

While we weren't able to get away for a long period of time this Spring Break, but we did make an effort to take a mini getaway to Virginia to check off a few more stops on our (seemingly never-ending) presidents list...

First stop - the site of President James Monroe's first Charlottesville home...




and his second, "Monroe Hill", on the University of Virginia campus...




We visited his most well known home, Ash Lawn-Highland, a couple of years ago...

From there, we stopped at the birthsites of both President Thomas Jefferson...




and President Zachary Taylor...




before heading over to tour Montpelier...




and then, Poplar Forest, the lesser known home of President Thomas Jefferson...
