Re: Vote on a new welcome sign for Virginia

I went to the VDOT website as per Froggie's posting and voted for the
"Ship" design, since it reminded me of the early Jamestown colonists.

My second favorite, though, would be the "Cardinal" sign.

Next summer, my wife and I plan to drive up to the D.C. area and do as
much sightseeing in VA/DC/MD as we can, plus attend part of the
Toastmasters International convention, which will be in DC.

Of course we'll do some "roadgeeking" :)

Thanks, Froggie, for sharing this with us.
