Charlottesville

This weekend we went for a weekend trip to Charlottesville. Mike and Ha were invited to a wedding there but no children were allowed at the reception. So we met everyone at the hotel and first checked out the pool

After Mile and Ha had left for the reception it was already time for dinner in the hotel restaurant - which we had all for ourselfs

Later we explored the surroundings.  On the pond next to the hotels were two swans and there was a little hill to climb'

We finished the evening with an ice cream bar and movie night.
The next morning we headed to Monticello, the estate of Thomas Jefferson just a few miles out of Charlottesville.
Instead of taking the shuttle bus we walked up  from the visitors center and it turned out to be a beautiful walk

After a tour of the house we explored the basement

On the way back Jacob spotted a centiped

At the end we posed for a picture with Jefferson

It was a beautiful day with beautiful weather
