And yes, I got gobs and gobs of beautiful books. And behold – the book haul! Three classics – I’m especially pleased with lovely editions of…
Huzzah! The post for our family vacation is finally up! It took me long enough, but at last, here it is, in all its dubious glory. First up we have the George Wythe House.
