Last Muster Of The Civil War, Gloucester, Virginia

Some more video from the Last Muster. We will get slide shows up and a lot more video soon. Enjoy.

Last Muster Of The Civil War, Gloucester Courthouse

We have a lot of catching up to do. This past summer we shot so much video and an incredible amount of pictures, processing all of it has proven to be a major job. Also with a death in the family, we had to take a break and travel out of town for awhile. Now we are trying to play catch up on so much that we are sitting on. Here is a music video we shot at the Last Muster, August 17th, 2010, Civil War Days at the historic courthouse circle. This was a great event put on by the county. We have a ton of pictures and video from this event that we also plan on sharing. So hold on everyone as we catch up on all the news.

World Famous 1,900 Year Old Log Home, VA State Fair

Another great site at the Virginia State Fair was this 1,900 year old log home. The wood work inside was spectacular. This log home is only 3 rooms. But you would be surprised just how much room 1 or two people had in it. Now for a family of 3 or more, it would not work, but for one or two, it was comfortable. Not something one could really live in though. No bathroom or showers. Otherwise it was nice.

Pig Racing From The Virginia State Fair

We went to the State Fair on the 3rd day of opening. We have a number of pictures to share as well as a number of videos from the event. This video is of the pig races that were held there. Very funny. This was one of the shows that made the trip worth while.

AWE At The White Marsh Shopping Center

On Saturday, October 2nd, 2010, there was an event at the White Marsh Shopping Center. We managed to get there for awhile and captured some of the highlights for you. This is a slide show of the AWE's first two matches. We were not able to stay for the entire event as we had other commitments. We have other slide shows from the event that we will be posting very soon. It was a great time.

Kings Creek Timeshare Resorts In Williamsburg Virginia

We decided to spend the afternoon over at Kings Creek Timeshare Resorts over in Williamsburg yesterday, Monday, September 20th, 2010. The resort has been under development for over 10 years now next to Water Country, USA on route 199. Development is expected to go on for another 1o years according to the sales team. Situated on a very picturesque setting and close to everything yet at the same time, isolated enough to keep the community private, this place has a lot going for it. 5 pools are presently built on the property with one of them being an indoor pool. Tennis courts, basketball court, an outdoor food court and a complete workout room. Wifi throughout the entire property. The houses here are beautiful.

Coming very soon are more outdoor pools, another indoor pool, a 2,500 seat amphitheater, restaurants and children's playgrounds. Activities are held every day so there is never a shortage of things to do at the resort. There is also a full day spa and hair salon too. We did take the sales tour as it is the best way to learn about the entire property. (Okay, we know you are waiting to see if we bought..... we are not telling). Having worked many years ago in the timeshare industry and with experience in both deed weeks as well as points, the folks at King's Creek have a very refreshing approach to how they are marketing this property.

Deeded weeks were thought to have gone out with the stone age in the timeshare industry, but not here at King's Creek. Deeded weeks are the only way you buy your vacation home. The tax and financial benefits make much more sense this way. Hats off to the management and owners of this resort as they have developed a way to split your home, from a one week unit into a three week unit by the way they lay out the houses. The house we were looking at was a two story 3 way split home with 4 and a half total bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, 3 sleeper sofas and 3 full kitchens. Each of the first floor units had private decks. The TV's were LCD's with DVD players in each unit. Also to our surprise, the resort supplies both laundry detergent as well as dishwasher detergent.

Instead of this resort using RCI for banking and exchanging your timeshare home, they use the very exclusive Interval International network. They are also tied into ICE which is a membership into the cruise ship industry where you exchange points for discounted rates on cruises or bank one or all of your weeks with ICE in exchange for an incredible cruise or multiple cruises. King's Creek is one of the top 25 resorts in sales in the nation. Beat out last year for the number one spot by a much larger company with incredibly deep pockets. (That does say a lot).

In the past I wasn't a very big fan of the timeshare industry. But having done a lot more traveling in the past year and knowing what present costs are, timeshares are making a lot more sense now than ever before. Especially considering the way that the folks over at King's Creek have laid out their program. CLICK HERE to visit their site. You can also rent out any one of these timeshare units anytime as long as they have the openings. These are much nicer than the local hotel rooms so you won't go wrong.

Major Traffic Tie Ups This Morning On Commute To Work

We had some major traffic tie ups this morning on route 17. Delays were attributed to the bridge closing all night last night for repairs plus an accident on 17 this morning. Reports coming in to us had an extra 45 minutes added on to our local commutes for anyone traveling from the courthouse area to the bridge. One person had told us it took over an hour to go from the courthouse to the bridge. Local businesses were re routing their own workers going across to Newport News sending them up through West Point to get to their destinations.

Traffic looked like a nightmare out of DC. Everyone was bumper to bumper and going no where fast.
