Monticello in the Spring
 |
| Monticello |
It took us about eight hours on Friday to drive to Washington DC from South Carolina (seven if
there had not been an accident on I95, but we did manage to time it so as to miss DC’s
rush hour).
The return trip was longer
as we detoured inland through Virginia to
visit Thomas Jefferson’s home in Monticello.

Unfortunately the weather was less than
cooperative, so while were able to go through the mansion, a driving rain kept
us from touring the grounds.
The rain
however could not hide the natural beauty of the landscape.
All of the woods were aglow with flowering
pear and apple and dogwood.
The bright
yellow of the forsythia could be seen for miles, and all along both sides of
the roads and in the medians daffodils had naturalized in huge masses.
Spring on the eastern seaboard is incredibly
lovely.
