Good Fun
last update: 10/31 @ 21:25

An excellent Halloween was had by all.

We were a little late in picking up our pumpkins, but that meant no time for the squirrels to get to them.

And Robert’s cool, jack-o-lantern eating a pumpkin held up really well.

Sarah and Robert even picked up special lights for George the giraffe.

Extra fun this year: Robert’s classmate Travis and his brother Austin came by.

The boys were pretty tireless in their quest for even more candy.

Actually, in about 30 - 45 minutes, they were ready to head home with pounds of sugar in their bags.

And then Robert did his sorting — too much variety this year for a good histogram.

There are way worse problems to have.

Richmond Treating Us Well
last update: 10/23 @ 21:30

All-in-all, a very nice trip.

Great weather (that should be clear from the picture).

Fun to walk around.

And a very nice chat with Martha.

James River Rapids
last update: 10/23 @ 21:28

This guy had a good line in Hollywood Cemetary rapid.

There seemed to be some sort of organized trip going on.

We saw a couple folks set up for safety and a couple Stand Up Paddle boards go by in addition to the kayaks.

It’s always surprising to me how urban the James is.

We just walked across the pedestrian bridge now suspended below the 195, I think that’s the big bridge there.

Belle Island now has lots of signage about its role as a prison during the Civil War.

And signs about the rapids and quary. It was very popular on such a nice, late October day.

We even found the path to Pipeline and I saw a couple boaters there as well.

Quick trip to Richmond
last update: 10/23 @ 21:19

We made a weekend out of lunch with Martha in Richmond.

The visit with her was great; it’s always fun to catch up. And good to have someone to commiserate with about the current state of affairs.

Then we went by the Tredegar Iron Works Museum.

And from there it was just across the road to check out the James River and the cool paths of the new river walk.

While we were watching the boaters come through, Robert took this great shot of Sarah and I.

And there were plenty of cool channels in the rocks as the river was a bit low.

But Robert said too cold to wade in.

Newly Minted…

This time, no trouble clearing his ears and he’s now certified!!!

We plan one more day of diving here before we head back to DC.

It’s been a fun trip and I expect there may be more photos later.

And if you see Robert, ask about the sharks…
