I have just finished making train, plane, and accommodation
reservations for a trip to the eastern U.S. from June 17-July 10
2007. I'm taking my older DD, son-in-law and two grandchildren
to: Boston, & Dennis Port (Cape Cod) MA; New Haven, CN; New York
City; Philadelphia, Ickesburg ;-), Bedford, & Gettysburg, PA;
Washington, D.C.; Charlottesville (Monticello), Williamsburg, and
Norfolk VA. We will have three days in Boston, five in NYC, and
four in D.C. (we'll be in D.C. over Independence Day, good
planning, huh?)
My grandson will be a junior in high school next year, so this is
probably the last big family trip we can all take together. I
doubt very much I'll be doing any fabric shopping, we're going to
be trying to hit all the historical/cultural sites we can manage.
Yeah, I know, it's a lot to pack into 21 days, but we'll probably
never have another opportunity, so....
Wish me luck, we still have a lot to figure out. We're hoping to
see at least one play in NY, plus a couple of museums, and the
American Girl Store (MUST see for DGD). The internet makes all
the planning so much easier! ;-)

Hey, I'll wave to you from the other side of the mountain!!! DH works
in C'ville, so it's about 45 minutes from our house.....who knows, might
be able to actually get over there and say hello. Must remember that,
if I do, I have to keep my mouth shut when the try to pass off the room
above Jefferson's bedroom as his closet area......I'm a strong believer
in Sally Hemings, and the room is *exactly* as described....only it was
described as *her* room, not *his* closet....
Larisa, not going any further because it will only make me angry that we
can warp history to fit our image of the people involved

Hasn't Sally finally gotten the recognition she deserves? She was
certainly Jefferson's common-law wife, and mother of his children, and
the matriarch of all their descendents. A fine woman, too, from what
I've read.

Well, the Hemings descendants and Jefferson descendants *do* get
together for family reunions, however...in exploring the website for
MOnticello, it says that the room above his bed with the round windows
was his wardrobe or some such..nothing is mentioned on the website about
Sally or their common family members

Then clearly, they need to be kicked into the 21st century!
