Add Monticello to your Itinerary

In the motorcycle world there is an association known as the IBA or Iron Butt Association. They have contests for longest riding distances in 24 or 36 hour timeframes--ie. 1000 miles in 24 hours. While our trip will not be quite that brutal, some may feel like it at the conclusion of our day.

We have added Monticello to our itinerary on Saturday, April 17. This is in addition to going to Mount Vernon. This came about when a new program at Mount Vernon was presented to me. Mount Vernon has an after hours program that they extended to our group. This will run from 3pm to 8pm.

SO....what to do until then....

Monticello.

We will depart a little earlier than we originally have scheduled. Yes this is early, but employing summer camp mentality, we want to allow for as much time as we can at Monticello. Plus our tour is time sensitive. We have a scheduled time we must be there for the tour of the house.

We will tour the mansion and grounds. Before we leave, we will pick up box lunches (we are paying) We will then have lunch on the road on our way to Mount Vernon.

At Mount Vernon we will tour the grounds and time will be given for supper. We will have supper provided here as well.

Unfortunately, that means Arlington is not part of the official schedule. However, time should allow for this to happen on Monday after the Capitol tour and before supper that evening.

REMINDER: If you have not done so already please send us your carpool info and if you require a vegetarian sandwich/meal.
