Birthday weekend in Scottsville and Charlottesville
This weekend, Kristin and I visited Monticello and stayed at a bed and breakfast in Scottsville, VA – the High Meadows Vineyard Inn. We’ve been watching the John Adams HBO mini-series, and with the recent refresher on colonial and Jeffersonian history, it was especially interesting to visit Monticello. I vaguely remember going as a child, or I might just be imagining that, but it was all new to me again this time around. The inn was a great time too. I’m on the fence about the whole B&B thing. I like staying at interesting places, but don’t necessarily long to hang out with a bunch of random people in someone’s house. High Meadows was private enough that you certainly had your own space. The owners were very nice, they cooked delicious, fresh, local food, and they had lots of animals on the property to play with. Chickens, ducks, peacocks, cats, rabbits. It was a fun weekend and we’re back home. Time to spend my birthday evening relaxing and eating cake! Here are my pictures from the weekend.
