After choosing our buried treasure's location, I proceeded to call family members and arrange times to visit. A cousin of mine graciously offered her home to us for a night and her husband as a tour guide the next day while we visited Old Salem to learn more about the Moravian Culture. We knew that Old Salem, NC could take a few days to explore in depth, but we also knew we still wanted to spend most of our family vacation in D.C., so we chose the short but sweet visit with the Moravians. We would be able to get the condensed version of history with an expert tour guide (my cousin's husband) in our employ. We were determined that we needed more adventure in our lives though, so we opted to take a day to visit the home of Thomas Jefferson, Monticello.
