What April Showers Bring I took this photo of beautiful May flowers on a trip to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson near Charlottesville, Virginia.  It's a wonderful day trip from Washington, DC and it's a great history lesson.  Both the old mansion and the gardens around it are worth the drive. 05/25/2011

April 13th was Thomas Jefferson's birthday. Monticello has been very beautiful lately and the crowds are really small these days.  Best wishes, Clifford Kavanaugh, Associate Broker Founder of Keller Williams Realty of CharlottesvilleKeller Williams International Achievement MedalistCertified Short Sale ConsultantView Charlottesville Area Homes for Sale at: www.CvilleHomeSearch.com  You deserve to work with Charlottesville's most experienced Realtor!434-466-5128    (Fax) 434-220-2201    1885 Seminole Trail Suite 100, Charlottesville, VA 22901Licensed to sell Real Estate in the Commonwealth of VirginiaEach Office Independently Owned and Operated    We Support Fair Housing 04/14/2010
