Monticello

Every year, I get to go to Virginia to visit my childhood best friend.  And about three years ago, my dad took me to go visit Monticello because he wanted to describe all of the architectural wonders of the home to me.  When we got there I was amazed.  The house is absolutely beautiful.  There are so many details throughout the house.  The most incredible thing about the house to me though was the fact that Thomas Jefferson made it an ongoing project.  Other than Monticello, I loved seeing the University of Virginia and "The Yard".  My dad told me all about the different columns on every building and it was one of the most interesting things I've seen.
