Beautiful, especially the blue of the sky!
Thanks; yes it was a gorgeous day when I took this one, quite a contrast to the winter storm that blew in overnight; the next day I was taking pictures in an ice storm…
My husband and I visited Montpelier on our honeymoon … almost 21 years ago. Neat place! I still remember how short the beds were. Madison was a very small man. 😉 The gardens were lovely in June, though. 🙂
The first time I visited back in the 70’s there was a dirt road, peacocks running around, and a big modern mansion built around the old house; quite a different place. They’ve done a fantastic job of renovation since then. Had it been renovated when you were there?
Well, I’m not sure. But, the place looked amazing so I’m thinking it must’ve been. I love historical sites! Mt. Vernon is my #1 favorite! (I grew up just outside of D.C.) 😉
Mt. Vernon is mine too; I always got the annual pass when I lived there…
