President Woodrow Wilson was born there, and his Library is there also. Did not tour it but did see it. We did wander around the very interesting town. Stayed at a Tru Hilton hotel. First time also to stay in one of those hotels, very impressed and enjoyed the visit there. Ate at a restaurant in town called "Kathy's" and highly recommend that too!

Richmond, VA (September 15, 2021)
This was my house in Richmond. I got a kick out of seeing it again. Saw that the big tree in the front yard is going. Wandered around for a bit and checked out the old neighborhood. As mentioned we had lunch at Legend seen below. My old employer is below that, an amazing complex of buildings.
Made a stop at Scoot Richmond, which is now at a new location. It is from them that I purchased my Triumph Speedmaster. That is one great motorcycle shop (and I have been to a few). No Triumph dealers in Dayton, so good to see those motorcycles again (I get my motorcycle here worked on from a former one...also it's very good place to go). Had a great time in Richmond, and a nice overnight. There was a group of motorcyclists at the hotel, who were going to a rally in New York (former firemen) and we enjoyed hanging out with them.

Carriage Hill Farm (September 10, 2021)
I enjoy coming out here, both with my wife and via the motorcycle (though today was in the Honda Civic while out getting it washed). It is a beautiful place and very peaceful. In wild times such as this being in an oasis of calm is a welcome thing indeed.
