the homestead

and there she is, peaking through the top of the trees...the homestead, in hot springs, va. yeah, chad and i got to stay here, and the best news about it is it was paid for--sometimes it pays to be married to someone who is overworked; thank you AIA and ASU!!















unfortunately, this is a small portion of this 800,000 square foot building! for more, visit:

front porch; not too shabby, huh??

we stop now at the great hall--yep, this and the player's pub were the only places we could where jeans in the evening; i am sure you can speculate...no, i did not leave the room very often















very deep in thought. i am not the best checkers player!













ah, yes, the presidents lounge...chad and i quickly found our place here

















those of you who know me will understand this one....hehehe!!

this here is one of the hot springs (hence, hot springs, VA) the temperature is 104 degrees, and nobody can get into it because it is way tooooo deep; however, see the little benches, in front of them there is a little pool where you can soak your feet...that's what i'm talking about!!!

and adios...
