From start to finish, the entire experience is seamless. For the past three years, our students have absolutely loved every aspect of their 8th grade D.C. trip. I've worked with other tour companies, and no one comes close to the quality of their tour guides, their expertise, and how smoothly everything runs. I highly recommend Nations Classroom.

It was a great tool for us to narrow down where we should go.

9/4/20 On the way to the beach or on the way back home, this…read morerest stop is one of many we went to.   The rest stops have gotten cleaner than they have in the past. This statement is up for debate based on one's own experiences, but from what I remember,  sitting on the toilets wasn't a thing you wanted to do. In my case the bathroom  was nearly spotless.  There was still urine on the floor by some urinals,  but a morjority for the urinals were good. Why, because of the target mats in the urinals. As a male we pride ourselves hitting targets at a great distance,  but can't seem to hot a target a few inches in front of us....unless some of us are deliberately aiming for the floor. Anyhow, these floor mats are designed for three reasons I can think of. 1. Odor Protection and Order Control:   The smell of "Urine may smell like ammonia when it becomes concentrated with waste products. A variety of conditions can cause waste products to build up in urine, such as bladder stones, dehydration, and urinary tract infections. In most cases, urine that smells like ammonia can be treated with fluids or antibiotic medications. "https://www.healthline.com/health/urine-smells-like-ammonia#bottom-line The protection part is so your nose and tastebuds are not highly offended by the obnoxious/horrid  stink urine can provide a wide open space or in the narrow corridors of a bathroom. 2. Targeting: Since the janitor/cleaner of the bath area has experienced the small to large amounts of urine on the ground, these newer models of splash guard mats have worked wonders.  The holes in these mats act as targets so males will know where to aim. Granted there were the sides of the inner walls to the urinals to aim for, but there is a problem with that.  I will get to that later on.  With these mats in place, the smell if urine can't not offend the nose or tastebuds of the person draining the lizard...unless the mats need to be replaced.   Indeed these targets will block pee from firing back at the shooter...how you ask?...well this leads to number #3 3. Splash Guard Protection: This is the most important aspect of the piss on mats. The target holes and little plastic bristles act as splash guards and stop the pee from splashing back on one's own privates, but most importantly one's own pants.  That's right, little microscope droplets of pee flying back onto your pants...but what it gets worse.  If you don't have these splash guards, the pee droplets can be bigger. The term "you can't take it with" does not apply if you do not have a splash guard mat.  Not even aiming for the insides of the walls will keep you 100% safe.  Don't aim for the wall in front of you unless there is a slash guard mat there. Otherwise you get the tiny golden rain drops backatcha and comingatcha.  So if your going for the wiggle, shaking and dancing, the last few drops are going to stay/stain your pants, unless you grab a tissue ( or paper towel) say bless you. The toilet  area was clean from what I saw. No worries about what Eddie Kaye Thomas aka Shitbreak had to go through.   The lobby area was immaculately clean and most people were in and out of that place, but all were wearing masks because of The Coronavirus Outbreak.    The snake machine was fully stock, but we did not get any food from the machine this time. Mainly, because the food was not what my wife wanted. Upon leaving this rest stop, I remember how I use to take my dog out here so she could handle her business and stretch her legs. She was the family's dog, but some how became my dog. She made the trip to Geneva Switzerland,  but never made it back to the United States.  I still miss my Lady Fox.   Anyhow, there are two other stops I normally would make and they are Waffle Houses, but our last experience with them was good and bad.     Still this rest stop served its purpose even though the customer service section was closed. We will return at some point. Whenever that is.

Would recommend this campground over and over! The staff is…read moreso kind and helpful, the camp store was very well stocked, with fountain soda machines and coffee. They had a beautiful fireplace in the store, games for kids to play and coloring sheets for them as well. The amenities were amazing - the pool, the playground and the bathrooms were all well maintained and easily accessible. The best amenity however is the shuttle to and from Kings Dominion. We're season pass holders and get free parking, but we took advantage of this every day. They pick up every 15-30 mins and run all day from 30 mins before park opening to 30 mins after park closing. It's an air conditioned bus that picks you up and drops you off right at the entrance of the park. We will absolutely be back to this Koa and highly recommend.

Monet Immersive Experience in Richmond We have been to a few…read moreof these immersive art experiences. They are actually really good and a great experience. You learn about the artist the time period and the art. This experience starts with a self guided tour through an area with props where you can take photos then moves you to an area to learn the history and timeline of Monet. It includes a short film to orientate the viewer. Next you move to a room with many replicas of Monet's works set in a time period that matches decor of that period. Moving on you next enter a room that is a small copy of the famed Lilly pond from Monet's home and featured in many of his paintings. Then you enter the immersive part - a large room where his art is showcased projected on two story walls and the floor and constantly moving. There are plenty of seats and benches to sit and enjoy the colors and art. I did feel like the lighting was too bright from above and took away from the color of the projections- maybe a onetime mistake - but the overhead lights need to be dimmer and the room darker- thus my 4 star rating. We viewed it twice and it was very enjoyable. Next you leave the gallery to a VR room -for a small fee you can watch a VR session of the time period- definitely worth it. You want to do this. That's the grand Finale- everything is relaxed and at your own pace to enjoy. Afterwards you exit into the gift shop where you pickup some memorable stuff- prices are reasonable. iMO. It was a good experience worth seeing. Check it out if you can.

The signage on the Main Street says Lidl and 3/4 of the building has images of food. The signage for Monet experience covers 1/4 of the building. So when I walked in and asked if Lidl used to be here the smart aleck front desk person said, No, it's been 3 years." I don't live in the neighborhood. I've never shopped in that Plaza. For all she knew I was from out of state. When I complained about the confusing signage, Miss smart alek said, We don't own the building" So? Not my problem. If you've been in business at a location for 3 years the least you could do is work with the previous business to change the signage! Miss Thing needs non-public facing job.

We paid for water and electric for our 35ft camper- it only worked 1/2 of the time we were there. They have no quiet hours so people play loud music and set off fireworks all night long. They pack tents and campers in so tightly and let people park their vehicles and boat trailers where ever they like. The boat ramps if you could even call them that are terrible - good luck launching anything longer than 15ft. We also had one of their "employees" come up to our campsite while we were all outside, make eye contact with us and say nothing - only to find out about an hour later that she had turned off the water to our site and our friends next door. They did this because their well was running low - would have been nice if they had explained the problem instead of letting us think our camper was broken. The power tripped so many times we lost count and while in the office telling them our power was out we heard 5 breaks trip at once. After talking with other campers who for some reason continue to come back year after year tell us that this is a constant and ongoing issue for the place. They have a known electrical problem and only continue to do temporary fixes - basically like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. What is really disappointing is the lack off empathy from the employees. We never received an apology throughout the weekend for their poor services and conditions. It's like they know they have a run down and crappy campground but have no plans on improving it. If you're looking for an actual campground to enjoy and relax with you family and friends on Lake Anna you should check out Christopher Run or the state park.
