yesterday instead, when we stayed in anyway. We decided it was a good
day for a drive, so we headed to Monticello, which was two hours away.
We did the Mulberry Row tour, where we learned about Jeffersons
slaves. Our tour guide told many stories that made the tour very
interesting.
Next we took the tour if the house. It was fun to see his interesting
designs in the house, like the dumbwaiter in the fireplace mantle and
the closets above the beds. The views from Monticello are beautiful. I
can see how Jefferson could be so conflicted with wanting to get rid
of slavery and keeping his lifestyle at the same time.
Oh well, even though he didn't solve that problem, he was still an
amazing man who fullfilled his mission in life.
