mermo Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 DH has a work conference in Richmond and I am coming along without the kiddos! I am soooo looking forward to some down time to myself & may want to explore a bit. I have never been there, anything I should check out?

Innisfree Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 What sort of things interest you? There's lots in the history, museums and gardens realms. When we've been there we've almost always had the kids, so that has influenced my current knowledge of the place. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, Maymont (Victorian mansion in extensive gardens), the Science Museum, maybe the Museum of the Confederacy-- haven't been to the last in years, though. Depending on your interests and the time of year you visit you might want to check out an architectural walking tour; I know there used to be some. Hollywood Cemetary is worth a visit. Let me know if you have specific areas of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyinva Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If you like Southern food (get the fried catfish and greens!), I highly recommend: http://www.mamajskitchen.com/ Sooo good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mermo Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks! I am not much of a shopper. I do love being outdoors (hiking is one of my favorite activities). We will be going at the end of April. The botanical gardens and architectural tour sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innisfree Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 April is good! Check out the Valentine Museum walking tours. You might find some others too. Have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
