Google lady routed me a weird direction but I was able to find the office pretty easily. Valdosta is a town of about 80 thousand people and highway 75 runs north-south just west of town so it makes it somewhat easy to get from one end to the other without going through traffic.
Nexxtep just moved into new office space in the last couple of months and their office is really nice. They have plenty of room for expansion and the office looks very professional. Ryan gave me the office tour and we had some time to compare notes. I also got to meet with their service manager Robert who seems like a great guy for the position. It is funny how when we compare notes we all seem to encounter the same challenges.
For lunch we went to the Smokin Pig BBQ here which had Georgia food. I was not overly adventuresome but did have Brunswick stew which is a local dish and was tasty.
After lunch I got some work done remotely and got the chance to walk through a great software program Nexxtep developed which allows a business to map out the reccuring things a business does every day (its business processes) and help automate them to make sure everyone that is involved with the process knows what they are supposed to do and stays on track.
On the way back to the RV park I checked out another RV park that may have been a couple of bucks cheaper per night but the facility seemed a little scary so we decided to stay where we are at.

Stacey was just finishing up multiple loads of laundry when I returned. She reported that school had gone fairly well with a side comment of "It seems easier when you are not here" (at least that is how I heard it) so I am not sure how to feel about that. :-) [That is NOT what I said.]
She was happy that we were going out to dinner with Ryan and his family to the Texas Roadhouse so there would be no cooking tonight. When we got to the restaurant the place was PACKED. We had to park across the street and the line was out the door. Luckily Ryan had called ahead and we only had to wait about 20 minutes to get a seat which is not bad for our party of 10. We got to have some good conversation and dinner with Ryan, Robyn, Nate and Owen. The kids were really excited to be able to interact with other kids so there was lots of talking all through dinner and we had a really good time.
Ryan mentioned some places to go and things to see tomorrow and we laid out some plans. One item that sounds like something fun that we have not tried before is Geocaching which apparently is available now via a smartphone vs. having to purchase a handheld GPS. Ryan has done it with Nate and it sounds like alot of fun so we might give that a shot tomorrow.
Sorry about the lack of pictures. We should have some tomorrow to post.
