... Catherine is a very bold driver. I tried not to cringe. Street parking is very hard to come by, so we frequently ended up in garages which are expensive, but very nice. One, near the textile museum, had art in it. Some have music, all are very clean. My favorite had little lights above each space which were either green or red, so you could easily look down an aisle and tell if there was a space to be had.<br><br>Someone mentioned to me ...

He asked wh**e I had come from and I answ**ed "Washington DC". The look of hatred in his eyes startled me, and he spat "you're full of **** if you're from DC". I hastened to clarify that I wasn't, in fact, from th**e, but I had only been visiting. This was when I knew he was some ...

... br><br>Our end cost, all included (including souveniers)for 3 people for 15 days was $8,700. <br><br>The plane fair from Richmond to TelAviv was $1,050 per person taxes and fee included. This was after lots of daily checking and buying tickets at almost their low point about 10 wweks out from the trip. I also discovered that, at least with US AIR flights on TH, F, SA were slightly more expensive. By 3 weeks away ...

Well we started off right, but we hit lots of traffic on Rt. 95 heading into Mt.Vernon and Richmond. Made a historic pit stop at Mt. Vernon. Pretty impressive place. I almost embarrassed Kristi and had us kicked out for rubbing my face on General Washington's pillow. They take that stuff very seriously nowadays.<br><br>Then off to Richmond where we met Ryan and Kelly. First night...hotel...not bad. <br>We hit ...

Sunday July 26, 2009<br><br>Luba and I slept in until about 830am. Bevil and Stewart were, of course, up, dressed and waiting for us. Bevil and Stewart took us to O'Doul&#8217;s for breakfast and then afterwards took us to visit the family plot at the Hollywood Cemetery. It was great to see that Luba was actually interested to see where my father and family were buried. After a short ride through Richmond we headed back to the ...

We arrived at our son's on Tuesday July 21st at about 4:20pm. No one heard us pull in so we got to surprise them. Andrea and my 2 granddaughters, ages 1 and 3, were home. Our son was not home from work yet.<br><br>My 3 year old granddaughter loved the motor home and kept wanting to go to it. Both of the granddaughters loved our 2 dogs, Maggie &amp; Bitsy and come to find out Maggie loved their rabbits.<br><br>On Thursday I went with my ...

After a little traffic, we arrived at Kings Dominion!<br><br>I used to be quite an avid rollercoaster fan- back in middle and early high school days. I even got a season pass to 6 Flags over Georgia a couple years in a row... They were only $50 or so for the whole summer. My guy friends and I would strategize how to maximize our time by using the Flash ...

From Austin, we went back to Virginia to spend a couple more weeks with my mom and Chuck. It was great getting to bookend our trip by spending time with them. Winter was snowy and pretty, then spring was beautiful. We went camping in Virginia, then took a quick trip to Florida (by quick I mean a 13-hour drive followed by an identical return trip a couple of days later). Camping was fun. We made smores. My mom and Lindsey love them some chocolate. <br><br>We ...

... let us down (not the navigator!..me). After trying hard to "feel" our way we finally pulled over for directions at a petrol "gas" station and purchased a map to retrace our route and arrive at our destination an hour later than planned. Richmond heading downtown has some lovely treed avenues with well maintained and sometimes splendid old houses. Fortunately, David Puhala whom we had planned to meet at Richmond Acceleration Sports Training was still waiting for us. David ...

We've rented the house, we've bought the tickets, we've made hotel reservations. What else is there to do? Well... they Typhoid shots. I'm pretty sure we won't get typhoid without them, but how embarassing would that be to try and explain to people back home how I lost a child to typhoid? So we're going to the travel clinic ...
