Local Feature: Michie Tavern

....and I'm still inundated with wedding planning - 1 month left!  After our honeymoon, it'll be back to normal blogging, especially since I have so many sessions to feature.  It's been a busy Spring.  Until then, here are a few film shots from Michie Tavern. 

Cheers!

The Natural Bridge of Virginia

My mom, Aspen and I headed to the Natural Bridge of Virginia, a ~500 million year old geological formation made of limestone, located just outside of Lexington, Virginia.  It was recently sold to a conservation group who dropped the normal cost of around $20 to $5 per person (which they're doing again this weekend).  The well manicured trails include bridges, streams, waterfalls, and brick walls.  While the Natural Bridge is near the entrance, the trail runs another 1/2 mile or so to Lace Water Falls. With its relatively flat walking grounds and short distance, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a nice walk.

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.
