Charlottesville's main claim to fame is Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home and plantation estate. Its second claim to fame is the University of Virginia, designed and founded by Jefferson. We visited a few weekends ago and gave Michael a crash course in U.S. history. After visiting so many church historical sites, it took him a little while to understand that Thomas Jefferson wasn't a prophet. Now it is fun to hear him shout "Thomas Jefferson!" every time he sees pictures or statues. He associates red bricks and columns with Jefferson's house too.
