​A day that started out cold and overcast and ends with us sitting by the pool listening to live jazz. It’s Gin and Jazz at the Oakhurst Inn. 

Laura left a five star review for the Blue Moon Diner before we got in the car. A fun, funky place with great straightforward breakfast food. The two people running things this morning might have been the owners - they were certainly committed to excellent service. If they move to Cambridge, we’d be regulars.

Spent most of the day at Monticello. Jefferson was truly an amazing polymath. Both the house and the exhibits are clear about the enslaved people of the estate and their role in creating and maintaining Jefferson’s world. They don’t stint on some difficult topics and the contradiction in J’s life between “all men are created equal” and the fact that he enslaved some 600 people in his lifetime.

​And….Monticello provided the first spoonrest of the trip.

Then on to Eastwood, a local women-owned winery for some food and wine in the sunshine. Good wines, but overpriced, so we just enjoyed our tasting flights and moved on.
