Big rains last night in an area that is dealing with big heat and humidity as well. Speaking of big though, the Washington Redskins are having their training camp once again here in Richmond, VA. Good crowd on hand on this second day of camp. I enjoyed the practice though to be honest was not there very long, as it was warm to say the least. Not my favorite team either but enjoyed seeing some football again.
Headed around the area to get something to eat (and a cold drink sounded good too!) but passed the Science Center of Virginia. Way back when was the old train station, and it is an impressive building which I am sure there is a photo of here on this site.
There is an area which past says "Admission required beyond this point" but just past it saw this old favorite of mine. Used to be outside at the now closed Virginia Aviation Museum (on the grounds of the Richmond airport) but moved some time ago. This is an actual SR-71 Blackbird which is one amazing aircraft still - and is now part of the museum collection. Very cool and a nice addition to the museum. Did not tour it today but have in the past, and will in the future.
What I did do was stop at my favorite BBQ place in Richmond, Buz and Ned's. Like eating there, and it has a great outside area. Not today though...that just did not seem like a good idea. Did enjoy my dinner there and the walk around. Was a good walk to the car. Instead of paying the $10 to park near the Practice complex, I walked from the old (and now closed) Velocity Motorcycle. Due to all the rain last night did not get the motorcycle out today. That said though still had a fantastic day. In fact for the next two days, though motorcycles will be a big part of my weekend, I will not be riding them. That will be the subject of my next post. Going down the road for a little adventure and will be sharing that here in the next few days.
