Hi Groupies
I've been delinquent in reporting on our stay, but I've finally found the time.
That's the only downside to vacations, catching up on all you didn't do while you were gone.
Our lodge was as awesome as ever! The villa rooms look very nice with their recent spiffing up. Fresh paint, carpet and bedding; and I loved the new club chair!
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture, but it is a pretty plum/cream/green plaid. What do you think,
black & white check haters?
We were having such a fun and relaxing time we even extended our trip by two days. That necessitated moving from a one bedroom to a studio. And that studio was,.... drum roll please..., a 4th floor dumpster view!
We weren't complaining though, we were just glad we could stay longer at our happy place.
I don't know if our weather was typical for mid October but mid 80's during the day, mid 60's at night, and no humidity has made this time of year our all time favorite.
Our only disappointment was not meeting Ranger Stan. He was away for a few weeks. Maybe we'll finally get the chance in December. Six more weeks, yahoo! Love having it be just the two of us, but will be happy to have our DD and DS with us.
Now I'll share some pictures of some of the items in the lobby that contribute to my love of VWL:
I collect birdhouses; I'd love to add this one to my collection!
Always walk around and pay attention to the details.
Favorite spot to sit, relax, and look at the critters on the screen.
Not in the lobby but my new acquisition for my pin collection.
Sorry the pictures are so small. I must take a class on how to do this stuff!

No I'm not a Nebraska football fan.
I put a request in during my VWL ressie to be close to the elevators. Since we are staying in a studio, I am trying to avoid the dreaded "dumpster" view. Looking at the floor plan, it looks like there are both lock-offs and dedicated studios not too far from the elevators. I guess my risk is getting one real close...is there too much noise by the elevators? Not too many studios that are right across from them, more like around the corner and such. What do you think?
Got in at 6:15 Saturday night and went right from the airport to downtown Richmond to hear Tony Blair (former PM of Britain) speak. Great speaker - but we were so tired - left after his presentation and didn't wait for the Q and A afterward.
