Since our third night of camping was very wet for the tent and bedding supplies, we upgraded to a KOA cabin in Virginia and gave everything a chance to dry. KOA cabins are simple (no private bath or sheet service), but it was a relief.
Monticello was our next exciting house tour. We studied the architecture of Thomas Jefferson our freshman year of architecture. Our professor (who attended UVA) loved Jefferson so much he dedicates two lectures to these designs.
Here we are at Monticello:
Stephen standing by Jefferson. We were suspicious of the proportions of this statue but were later informed that Jefferson was in fact 6' 2 1/2" ! To the right is part of the beautiful Monticello gardens.
The University of Virginia has grown a great deal since Jefferson’s first design, but we eventually found the historical center. This is the Rotunda which looks out on the Lawn.
