Yup, J. Clyde turns into George Washington right around the hotels location. Same thing.

You just want to get off of 64 at J. Clyde towards George Washington. Exit 258B either way on 64.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Just moved here so I'm not too familiar with the area yet.

Heads up to anyone interested in a red dal female crested at the Hampton Roads expo.

Definitely worth a purchase. I'm betting you could pick this one up for 150.

Well, just got home from the show.
Was pretty bummed about this one.

I know this is a smaller size show but there wasn't much variety at all.

I had a good time. It was only my second show though and it was bigger than the one I went to before. I picked up some supplies and a 2012 PDH VPI Snow female from Rick Krumrine. There was 't a lot of variety but I found what I was looking for except for adult female Dubia.

Not every show can be a Tinley or a Daytona. My family and I got off a cruise ship in Norfolk and stopped by for a few minutes on the way home. There was no room for more vendor tables and the pace was packed. That is a good show.

I enjoyed the few minutes I had there and think Tony may want to start to look for a bigger place. This show keeps getting better and better.

My son and I got there pretty late, around 2. We walked around looking at all of the different snakes and lizards, and eventually got 2 juvie cresteds. However, I'm saddened to report that on the ride home one of them died from too much heat Sad

Next time I may have to bring a small cooler.

I did have fun though, look forward to the next one.

My son and I went first thing in the morning. I got some Phoenix Worms from Bullyeast and my son talked me into getting him a lil female Kenyan Sand Boa from Rick Krumerine. The show is definitely growing each time.

Damn, I'd love to go but its on the other side of the water and would keep me from the house a bit too long for comfort. I'm on baby watch with my blue tongue skink and only run out for short grocery trips and stuff until they get here. Would have loved to go and meet you guys face to face. Maybe I can make the next one.

Have fun everyone.

Glad it turned out! I tried to sneak in an early morning fishing trip and got stranded at sea most of the day Facepalm

Well did you at least catch some fish? Hope you had some sunscreen.

I'm as red as a tomato and didn't get to use one bit of the bait. We broke down about five minutes after leaving the boat ramp. Took the boat back, removed the crappy gas, gotter running like a champ and went back out ... Broke down again about five minutes after leaving the boat ramp. Spent the whole day working on the boat from sea and discovered that it's somehow pumping sea water into the motor from the gas line with no possible explanation as to why. Glad it's not my boat lol.
