Monticello, Carter's Mountain, Forest Hills, Oh My!

Since the Sturms only had one full day in Cville, we ran them around. We started the morning with the family-friendly tour at Monticello:

Ready to race on the west lawn

writing with quill pens

Benji liked the Jacob's Ladder

looking in the camera obscura

playing with the orrary

the girls found the books

Benji wanted to make mommy a birthday card

and also to touch every gadget

We moved from Monticello to Carter's Moutain, where we were surprised to find that peach season is over and apple season has begun!

We split up for a while at this point so that the Sturms could explore the mountain and UVA's campus and we could get to the kids' open houses for school.  We reconvened a little before dinner for some spray park action at Forest Hills:

We finished off the day with dinner at Bella's and Sweethaus cupcakes and sent the Sturms on their way back to Springfield on Tuesday morning.
