EPPINGTON

Today,Barbara, Jim, Cassie and I went to the Chesterfield County Heritage Day at Eppington Plantation, the home of Thomas Jefferson’s brother-in-law. This house was built in the 1770s. Cassie and Jim joined in the colonial dancing and both of them enjoyed the Hot Air Balloon. Neither Barbara nor I thought we could get into the basket on the balloon, it was just to high for us to get our legs over the top and into the basket. It was fun just watching the others.

Cassie had a big surprise. One of the enactors (Jeff Beatman) was the former principal at the school she attended. He remembered her so of course we had to have a picture of the two of them together.
