Last week we headed out west to the beautiful mountains of Colorado. To make the most of our time we decided to fly from Kansas City which put us in Denver in a little over an hour vs. a 10 hour car ride. To quote Sweet Brown, ain’t nobody got time for that.

Two Days in Richmond, Virginia
I don’t know what I expected Virginia to be like but I have to say it exceded my expectations. The weather, history, and abundance of colorful buildings made my 3 day work trip all the better.
