Mini Vacation/ Road Trip, Oyster Fest, and Thanksgiving dinner

I recently decided it was time I had some time off of work. Having been so tired of the hustle and bustle of flying and dashing from plane to plane, I decided I would go ahead and drive to our show in Peoria, IL only 1103 miles from Richmond, no big deal right? It actually wasn't so bad, but it was a hell of a lot of driving. Peoria was surprisingly nice, i was there over Halloween and ended up going to the river boat casino, having lunch with an old colleague Sharon, and hittin' the club(s). I took off on Tuesday evening and stopped in Chicago to have dinner with another old friend, and destroyed the Old Country Buffet. I hit the road again, Cleveland bound. I got in around midnight, and settled into my super awesome hotel room with a view of Lake Erie, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Browns Stadium. I went the the Great Lakes Science center the next morning, and browsed around before heading out to Elyria to see my cousins and have dinner. Back Downtown to my hotel, this time the Hyatt at the Arcade. what an awesome place. I have said it before and I'll say it again, I really love Cleveland.



Once I got back to RIchmond, I packed up to head down to Urbanna for the annual Oyster Fest, Which is a HUGE DEAL. My family was going to sail over and dingy in and out all weekend, but something came up, and they stayed in Richmond, so instead i went to the Bethpage Camp Resort where Terri was staying with some friends. That was such an awesome place, and btw I found a spot that I want to buy there. We stayed up all night camp firing and drinking, and just talking to everyone around.


The next morning was Festival time, which is nothing more than a giant festival of fried seafood, music, and drinking.








Terri and I found a spot in a tree on the corner to watch the parade. after that we walked around practically aimlessly all day, eating any form of fried seafood there was, and drinking everything in sight. Returning to the campground we enjoyed dinner, beer, and another long night at the campfire. We woke up at some point the next morning with time to tidy up, head back to richmond, and head to Kevin and Nicoles for Thanksgiving Dinner.
