Like many, my wife and I
have a tradition of carving pumpkins in the month of October. This year we decided to have a presidential
theme to our endeavors, so I decided to carve James Monroe and my wife carved
Thomas Jefferson. I think they turned
out pretty good!
The James Monroe silhouette is actually the from James
Monroe Highland’s Logo (http://highland.org/plan-your-visit/tours-and-tickets/). The Thomas Jefferson (my wife’s pumpkin and
the better of the two but tell my wife I said that) was a pattern from Colonial
Williamsburg (http://www.history.org/kids/games/pumpkinpatterns.cfm).
Have a Happy Historical Halloween! If you carve a pumpkin like a president or visit a historical ghost tour share your pics and stories on Facebook, twitter or in the comments below.
