Denver the beginning of February, one really can't complain.
Decided to take a little detour and visit another place on my bucket list -
Monticello. Although not as grand as the Biltmore, it is really special.
Thomas Jefferson designed every aspect of Monticello, constructing and
modifying its buildings and landscape over a period of 40 years.
The home sits on 5,000 acres and is where Jefferson retreated to after "the
hated occupations of politics". As to politics and government - we have not
changed much.
It was great to get a history lesson about Thomas Jefferson and the times
from the wonderful guides at this national treasure.
Another great day - time to get some miles in to make it to a Lacrosse game
and then to Maine to spend some time before heading back to Colorado in
mid-May.
