Shenandoah Nat. Park & Home of James & Dolley Madison

Did some site seeing while in Va.  Drove through Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park,
Beautiful views.  Had a picnic lunch at the Loft Mountain Wayside and saw hikers going down the Appalachian Trail.
Montpelier, Home of Dolley and James Madison.   They have been restoring  the home and grounds back to its original design, after being changed when the Dupont's owned it.  Dolley could not afford to keep the estate  after James passed away, she ended up broke.  Imagine that!
