Journal entry 10-1-2008 by Birke Baehr







30 more days 'til Halloween!!!






Anyways, we just got back from Charlottesville, Virginia. Our truck had a dead alternator so we had to get it fixed. Otherways we went to Monticello the home of Thomas Jefferson one of our founding fathers, 3rd president and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Wow, he did a lot of stuff! Did you know in every room of Monticello there's a clock? He considered himself a farmer and a scientist. He bought the Louisianna territory from Napolean Bonapart at 2 cents and acre. Napolean was dictator of France at that time!






I went to the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Va. We visited England in the 1600's and we saw a tudor style house. We visited a 1700's German farm they had chickens and they fed out of our hands with this food called fowl food. We visited 1700's Irish Forge, that's where they make stuff out of iron.






Sooooooooo...that is part of what we did in Virginia. It was really fun. How about you?



thanks for listening, Bye!!!
