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.
