Located in downtown Richmond, the state capitol is beautiful to walk through on a Spring day!
Mike proposed at Maymont, right outside of the Italian Garden (not to be confused with the Olive Garden)! Maymont is a 100-acre Victorian estate and public park in Richmond, Virginia. It contains Maymont Mansion, now a historic house museum, an arboretum, formal gardens, a carriage collection, native wildlife exhibits, a nature center, and Children's Farm.
The VMFA is located in the heart of the Fan District in downtown Richmond--right down the street from us! We love to go there with friends for happy hour and apparently there is also art inside.
Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is a 50 acre botanical garden in Richmond, Virginia's Lakeside neighborhood. Mike's family tradition is to check out the Christmas lights together every winter. Our wedding may be 6 months too late for that, but it's a beautiful place to visit in June to see all of the flowers in bloom!
