Ash Lawn-Highland, Home of President James Monroe

After living in Charlottesville for almost 20 years, it might be surprising to know that I have never visited Ash Lawn-Highland, the home of President James Monroe.  Being a history nerd (especially colonial history) and not knowing much about President Monroe, my mom and I visited it last weekend.  Maybe it was the dreamy fog for pictures or entertaining tour guide, but we had a great time.  The tour of the home is about 30 minutes and since it's not as nearly as large as Mr. Jefferson's mansion, you learn a lot about what he accomplished as a politician at all levels of government.  I highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

Then I ran out of film (left it in the car like a fool)...

Bill, Christy and Penny Virginia - A Holiday Session

This holiday session featured an adorable golden pup, Penny Virginia.  If she looks familiar, that's because she's sisters with Aspen (from a different litter).  Keep going until you reach the end - there are some funny and cute outtakes.  Thank you to Christy and Bill for asking me to photograph your holiday pictures - it was both fun and an honor!

And now for some funnies and cute outtakes...
