Despite a rainy start, what a glorious three days we had in Richmond last weekend. David offered me a getaway Mother’s Day weekend in the area of my choice … Paris and Prague were out of the question, however. We’d only ever visited Richmond in the past for business … airport, hotel, customer meeting, hotel, airport … not much in the way of touring involved. So Richmond was my choice … just over 100 miles northwest of Chesapeake … and a great choice it was. There’s a reason that Richmond was #3 in Travel + Leisure’s 2016 best places to travel.
