Richmond Flood!

Wow! We had quite a flood last week here in Richmond. We had a ton of rain on November 16th. It was also very windy that day which added to the problem. The wind caused most of the leaves to fall out of the trees. Coupled with the extra water from the rain, we had perfect conditions for floods and flash floods. I was able to leave work early that day, so I decided to drive around to the low areas I knew of and take some pictures. I have posted them on Flickr under the "Weather" section of our page.

Water is amazing and this flooding was also amazing. I am glad I was able to capture some of it in pictures. I was not able to get down to the city of Richmond though. I understand that there was some pretty major flooding down there.

Hershey, PA

Tiffany and I own with Bluegreen Vacation Club. We recently discovered a resort they own in Hershey, PA. After doing a quick search, we realized that Hershey was closer than we thought. So, we packed our bags and headed up to Hershey on November 9 (Just a few days after getting back from Toronto). We had a great weekend relaxing and taking in the touristy destinations (Minus the theme park as it was closed). It is nice to be able to get away for a weekend once in a while. It helps set work aside and relax.

We had some friends join us on the trip and that always adds to the fun!

On the way home, we stopped in Maryland to see my mom. We called her when we were at her exit to tell her we wanted lunch! See was surpised and happy to see us.

Another Trip to Toronto

I had the pleasure of traveling to Toronto again at the beginning of this month. I traveled for business this time as we were installing a new videoconferencing room in the city. The best part about the trip was the evening I got to take the client out to dinner. My company had me take the client and the installation team to the 360 Restaurant in the CN Tower. The food was pretty good, but the view was spectacular! The restaurant rotates once every 72 minutes. Final bill: $475 (For four people!)

Toronto is a great city and I am glad that I was able to travel there for work. I might be going again early in 2007. We will be moving a bunch of systems to a new building a few blocks away, so it will be a fairy major project! I hope I can go and bring Tiff with me.
