Right after school got out we made a quick trip to Charlottesville one last time for a while. Our good friends, the Grovers, were leaving the states once again and moving back to England to the same area as we all used to live. We have one word for them: LUCKY!
The trip was super quick, but we got to spend a lot of time together, play games and just hang out.
We did attempt to go to Monticello and got as far as the kids' exploration building...but...it was pouring rain when we were in the area so we decided against the actual tour as we, honestly, were simply not prepared for the rain (unlike our English days).
Oh yes, Monticello used to be Thomas Jefferson's home, in a beautiful setting. So the kids got learn bits and pieces about its history and some of the fascinating facts about how Jefferson ran his household.
It was not easy to say goodbye, but it was not as sad as usually since we know they were going to a wonderful place! And maybe we'll get to visit them:)!

Playing with friends.
We also got to watch a neat 20 minute film about Monticello.
Spoons card game was a big hit with everyone at home (minus Katya asleep on the chair).

Till we see you again!
