Sunday night we watched a great lightening show while waiting for fireworks to begin outside the condo.
On Monday we took a Fourth of July field trip to Poplar Forest, Thomas Jefferson’s personal retreat. It was SO HOT! But there were interesting demonstrations and presentations:
blacksmith
weapons
quill pens
Native American games
pump drill
presentation of colors (and the reading of the Declaration of Independence)
lace making
hackling flax
Before any of us had a heatstroke we left, picked up milkshakes, and took the scenic route (Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive) back to the condo.
