Today (before entering in the second semester on Monday), Nate took the day off of working (as a student assistant for a Professor), and we drove to Highland, home of James Monroe. Beautiful day. Mason enjoyed the animals, we enjoyed the history, Stan enjoyed being held by Daddy. Later we ate lunch at Michie Tavern - a place where Jefferson, and others might have met to discuss politics. It was a great day!

| home of James Monroe - a more simple man perhaps than Jefferson - but still had a lot of land. More serious and pragmatic (maybe like my Dad). They both did so much for our Country. I owe them! |

| Great environment. Loved the Scottish violin and flute playing in the background, the warm fire, the historical setting, and the great service. |

| so intrigued by the fire |
