D.C., Monticello & Charlottesville

I have been wanting to see Monticello for years!!! This is Thomas Jeffersons home which he was the architect for, and actually started the Jeffersonian Era of building. It really was just as amazing as I thought it would be. I went with Melissa Wade and Kate Nadeua.

T.J. and us
The backyard/side garden-vineyard, so pretty.

View of the back of the house, the front is pretty much the same.
Mitche's Taver for lunch, you eat what they would have eatin in 1800. Very cool ambiance.

Washington D.C.- The Capitol Building

Washingtons Memorial, sorry I forgot to flip this

The White House

This is the famous Half-Smoke Chili dawg that all D.C.er's get...despite the looks this was really good!

Georgetown Cupcakes, as seen on TLC.
I indulged in a red velvet, cookies-n-creme, and traditional vanilla-chocolate

D.C. Temple, it is hidden actually and then you pop out of the woods and there is the amazing temple

The summer continues...
I got Melissa Wade to go with me on an eating frenzy through D.C.
All summer I had been watching the Food Network Channel and Travel Channel, making notes on places to eat. So when I got the chance I took it at full speed! What a good way to sight-see cause you don't get grumpy cause your tired or hungry, cause you have been sitting down all day eating :)
