... of Madison to Prince Michel Vineyard and Winery. Glitzy tasting room. We each paid a $1 so we tasted the vineyard designate wines and also the wines on the free tasting. We ended up buying one of the designate wines, Ivy Creek Farm Viogner ($27-ouch) and a meritage called Symbius ($30-ouch again). The folks in the tasting room were very nice but they wouldn't give me sunglasses. <br><br ...

... dismantled, shipped and reconstructed on a large site together with examples of early American houses to demonstrate what early immigrants had left behind and how the melding of these various influences created the American homesteads of the 19th Century. It was surprisingly interesting and we all loved it. Amongst other things, we were shown how flax is turned into Linen &#8211; the 18th Century way &#8211; and we all had the chance to try stripping the ...

... food, especially breakfast. Got some salmon hash that came like eggs benedict. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! First night we went to Fellini's and had a bottle of wine. It was really nice!! Definitely partied hard with these guys, although I could not really keep up. Had a blast. On the way down to Duck we stopped by his friend Stephen's. <br>

After an emotional roller coaster in DC over the weekend, I arrived in Charlottesville via Greyhound around 8pm last night. Nobody in my program seemed to back except for Mary, who stayed here over the weekend. We watched Harry Potter 3 on her laptop (directed by Alfonso Cuaron, my favorite!). <br><br>Today, I went into the ...

... do it all. But eventually decisions had to be made, reservations had to be booked. The result of all of this effort was a giant 3-inch, 3-ring binder full of paper and plans, later dubbed my &#8220;trip Bible.&#8221; In February I committed with the purchase of our airline tickets, and then began the process of tweaking. By late April &#8211; early May, everything was set and the true countdown began. <br><br>I attempted to be as frugal as possible ...

Please allow me to describe my humble life and living situation in Charlottesville, Virginia. The summer research program I am participating in has 8 interns total. The vast majority are females from state schools in Virginia or neighboring southern states. There is one girl who goes to UVA, which is nice. We all live in an apartment-style housing on campus. Both of my suitemates have ...

... selected a delcious bottle of their 2007 Viognier.  <br> <br>When we left the vineyard we drove around the area a bit and drove past some great walking trails and Monticello, which looked like a great place to visit.  We also happened upon a cute "village" where we checked out a gift shop filled with all sorts of fun area related items.  Then it was off to our friends for the night!  <br><br><br><br><br><br>

... and space. We were able to wander the gardens that have been recreated, as best can be ascertained, and the slave quarters under the house in the kitchen, as well as view the stables and the deck areas. The views from this house on the hilltop were expansive and obviously commanded a 360 degree view when the trees were not obstructing the outlook. We walked along the Mulberry Row where his Slaves and workshops had been ...

... it. I think I could see myself here. My parents and Peter got in around 5 and we went to their hotel to meet them. The Fairfield Inn we're staying in is very nice, especially compared to the other places we've stayed so far. We then drove my parents and Peter around Charlottesville and the campus and showed them the law school. Then we went to dinner at an Indian fusion restaurant downtown, which was very tasty ...

... a glimpse of someone's worst day. I don't understand. Mileage to this point - 28897; which means we traveled 216 miles. Brett also has this navigator device on his caravan that records the amount of miles traveled, amount of hours in the car, temp, and direction of travel so I don't have to look at the mileage. I will do so anyway to see how many times he feels the need to point out the obvious. So far, 2 times.
