Virginia Part 1

After a couple of weeks in Utah, I went with my sister to Virginia for my Grandma's 80th birthday. While there we took the opportunity to see some of the sights in the surrounding area.

Our first day we drove down to Lynchburg, Appomattox, and Bedford.

Here is what we saw in Lynchburg:

It's Thomas Jefferson's summer home - Poplar Forest. It's not really much to see yet. They are in the early stages of remodeling and bringing it back to what it was when Jefferson visited there during his summers.

It's modeled after his home in Charlottesville, Monticello.

It only has six rooms. They are going to leave one of the rooms in various states of unfinished so people can see how the construction originally took place. It should be finished and worth seeing in about 7 or 8 years. I'll go back then. But it was interesting to see at this point.

 The front. In order to prevent the tour guides from accessing the front door while they paint the porch, there was yellow tape. Unattractive.

We had beautiful weather everyday while we were there.
