Savannah, Georgia 4-day Vacation


Kerry and I decided not too long ago to take a long weekend or a short vacation of 4 days to spend in Savannah, Georgia. We have been here once before back in 2004 I think. We came to the historic district while we were here but we were only in town for a day. We stayed a ways away and didn't get a chance to explore much then.

This time we are staying in a 208 year old cottage right in the historic district within walking distance of most everything. We have already probably walked 10-15 miles in less than 2 days here. It is Saturday right now and we are staying until early Monday morning. We will head back to Richmond on Monday.

Please check out some of the pictures I have taken since we have been here Friday. Of course, the photo fanatic that I am, I have taken almost 300 pictures already as of Saturday night. I will post more on our Photo Album page later once I clean them up some.

Motorcycle Off-Road Riding

Here is a video of me, David, and Ken from Ken's Cycles in George Washington National Forest near Staunton, Virginia. I am riding the yellow & black Suzuki with the yellow helmet and I am usually trailing David. I had a hard time keeping up during the morning but was able to catch David once with Ken pushing me from behind. Thanks Ken for the video and the help!

This was Sunday April 13th, 2008. It was around 50 most of the day at lower elevations but sleeting, snowing and some rain at higher elevations of the mountains. The trail riding was cool and the fire roads with gravel were scary! My Suzuki DR650SE was really loose in the gravel and I have no experience off-road on a motorcycle.

Check out this video for my first ever riding off-road.
