We feel so lucky to live so close to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. We couldn't pass up a day to celebrate his birth on April 13th. They said he never wanted to celebrate his own birthday, only the birthday of our Country, July 4th, but they celebrate it anyway. What a perfectly beautiful day! I happened to run into my friend Jeni on my way home from a run, and told her about it. Fortunate for us they decided to join in the fun. She was kind enough to take these pictures for us and pass them along - since we realized once we got there that our camera battery was dead. She also brought her daughter, Claire, as well as her sister. What a wonderful day. They had Marin Wright Edelman (graduate of Yale and advocate of children's rights) speak. It was inspiring.
