I don't think this man gets the credit he deserves...
He was only the "Father of the Constitution" I guess, no big deal (he was the principal author of the document). He was also responsible for the first ten amendments to the Constitution thus is also known as the "Father of the Bill of Rights". I think we owe this guy quite a bit, or maybe it's just me.
This is why we feel justified sneaking onto his property to get after-hour photos of his beautiful home, garden, "temple", and grave. Okay, we weren't sure if the sign reading that it closed at 4:30pm was right or not, even if it was 7 already, because the gate was open, so we may or may not have helped ourselves to seeing the big guy's land. All in pure innocence of course, and really quite harmlessly. But yes, we still whispered and tiptoed around the entire property. And we may have ran barefoot across his front lawn to avoid being sighted.
The garden and property is very England/Ireland-esque and well worth the visit. But if you come after 4:30pm just make sure there's a 50th wedding anniversary for the director of the board so you can just drive right in with no guards, no tourists, and great misty pictures. Besides, we already paid for this place many times over via taxes.
Thanks James :)
