We got back from camping on Sunday, thinking we would need Monday to get everything washed and packed away before returning to school on Tuesday. Little did we know that we'd be in the midst of our 3 week quake break!
Today, we decided to visit Ashlawn-Highland, home of James Monroe. It's a beautiful setting with a lot of history in the house, but the presentation needs a bit of work (at least compared to Monticello). Maybe that can be my next project...

It was a drizzly day, but we decided to go apple/peach picking anyway. At least the mountain wasn't crowded!
Roughly 70 pounds of apples and peaches later, we headed out to dinner. (And we've spent the last few days making applesauce, "papple" (peach-apple) sauce, canned peaches, and peach preserves).
