Nadine & Joshua
Things To Do
Maymont
The first time Josh took Nadine to Richmond, he took her to Maymont. It is a beautiful park and there are animals and a petting zoo!
Carytown
This section of Richmond is great for walking, shopping, exploring Richmond restaurants or touring museums and galleries.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
Josh and I went here for his work Christmas party last year and it was beautifully decorated.
Hike between Brown's Island & Belle Isle
If you're looking to spend some time outdoors, this hike is a great way to get to know Richmond! Whether you start on Brown's Island or from the Belle Isle parking lot, the loop is the same. If starting from Brown's Island, begin on the Potterfield Memorial Bridge, pass the climbing wall and then cross the bridge instead of following the sidewalk (you will end up near office buildings, just keep following the path). You will then get on the "Buttermilk Trail". This trail can take you to Belle Isle and I recommend using your phone to navigate a distance you want to take. When you get to Belle Isle, there is a suspension bridge that will take you back to where you parked. The suspension bridge is how you would start the hike to go the other way.
Pony Pasture Rapids
Located only a mile from Josh's house, pony pasture is a series of trails along the river for walks, or jogs.
Hardywood Park Craft Brewery - West Creek or Richmond
If you're looking for a Brewery, this one is one of our favorites. you can bring your own food and it is a great place to hang out! There is a location closer to downtown and one a little bit more west (both addresses are listed above)
Riverside Outfitters
You can rent some kayaks here and take a trip down the James!
Brambly Park Winery
This new Winery/ Restaurant is a great place to hang out on a nice day!
