Presidential greetings
Charlottesville, Virginia, is home to Thomas Jefferson. It is rather nice.
Monticello
That’s rural Virginia in the background. Hard to believe it was covered with lots of snow less than 12 hours after this photo was taken.
And here we have another presidential home, Mount Vernon, just south of DC. I liked this one better than Monticello.
The house (Duh). I mean, it’s not the outhouse, right?
(The outhouse, incidentally, was known as The Necessary by those who visited Mount Vernon, which I learned during our tour of the grounds. As in, ‘Bloody well done winning that war, George! That river must have been cold. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to The Necessary for a moment.’)
Nice view of the Potomac, which was spelled Potomack in its earlier references.
Thanks for the hologram postcard from Monticello! Awesome.
