Weekend Escape to Charlottesville

Ryan and I were lucky enough to enjoy a 3 day weekend together, which is rare with the demands of our jobs and our business ventures, or should I say “hobbies.”
Anyway, we decided to take a quick trip to visit some of the historic sites in the Charlottesville area. We live less than an hour from Charlottesville, Va, making it a wonderful place to escape to on a whim.  Here is an overview of our trip I will go into greater detail in later posts.
Our 1st stop-
Monticello- The home of Thomas Jefferson
What a beautiful place!
Our 2nd Stop- Michie’s Tavern
Where we had a delicious lunch at The Ordinary!
Our 3rd Stop- The Carter Mountain Orchard
One of the best views I have ever seen!
Our 4th Stop: Ash Lawn-Highland- The home of James Monroe
Final Stop of the Day- The Boar’s Head Inn
After all of that we still had time to enjoy some fishing and dinner at the Boar’s Head Inn before calling it a night.
