Travel: Hamilton inspires summer trip

By Matilda Anne Waggener

The play Hamilton inspired our summer trip east to Charlottesville, VA.

My dad and I toured Monticello, the home of President Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States. The home is presented as it was in the days he lived there.



The trip from Shelbyville, KY took us through eastern KY and into the mountains. The views are beautiful. It was hot weather so if we go back to tour the home again we decided it will be in much cooler weather when there will likely be lighter crowds.
