36 hours in Richmond - What's a man to do?!
Well, under a rigorous schedule, he is able to bask down by the (James) riverside in 18 degree sunshine and contemplate a stone drop slowly into a murky quarry lake. Then after an appetite-building stroll back across the roaring river, can consume the roadside delights of Buzz n Ned's real barbecue with a clear conscience.
Finally he is squashed back into the slightly doggy smelling Subaru and taken into the woods of Gum Springs for the laid back charm of Grayhaven winery. Calm ponies, afternoon sun on the vines and fab, dilapidated play equipment occupy the girls whilst the grownups laze on the deck and sample the latest in Grayhaven's Virginian and South African wines. A surprising lychee sangria got my vote and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc is chilling in the fridge for the next guest.
The kids ran off into the woods after a local boy, just before the sun set on the perfect day.
