"Walk a mile in their shoes......"…read more I decided to peer through the eyes of history and visit the Tuckahoe Plantation. I felt all the feels driving up the loooong drive to the plantation. I wondered how many slaves dreamed about what was on the "other side" of that long field. Many visitors pack in to see where Thomas Jefferson spent his childhood BUT I drove to see how the ancestors spent theirs (as this plantation tells the enslaved stories, as well). As I walked the curving path to see the schoolhouse, kitchen, enslaved quarters....I felt something (not the haunting that is said to be present) - i wondered about long sweltering summers in the field. I didn't need to peer inside the main house. I thought the archivists did a good job assembling historical facts about Thomas Jefferson and the enslaved. I didn't take the guided tour but I enjoyed what was open to see (people reside there - in both the main house and cabins - so not much to see).

Lovely spot to take a walk in their immaculate garden! This plantation, once the home of Thomas…read moreJefferson, is located off River Road, down a long, dirt driveway. You will pass a farm with chickens and gorgeous fields as you make you way to the stately Georgian styled home at the end of the road. There's a parking lot with an honor system box, $5 donation for the self- guided walking tour of the grounds. A map Is provided, and there are QR codes throughout this beautiful acreage. Should you want a guided tour of the main house and outbuildings, there are charges ranging from $5-$20, discounts for children, seniors and military. Call for reservations to be sure they are not hosting a private event. We were only interested in being outdoors! The plantation is open from 9-5 daily. This place is the perfect location for some fresh air therapy! We were enthralled by the various garden areas, the statuary, the arched groves, the arbors, the colonial design, and most of all, the spring flowers and trees in full bloom! We meandered through the rows of tulips, daffodils, poppies, hyacinths, snowdrops, candytuft, bluebells, and other colorful flowers, shrubs, bushes and plants. This not so secret garden was full of birds, with bird houses placed strategically at various spots. Flowering vines and trees were trained to make gorgeous arches. The maintenance of this amazing, historic estate is obviously painstakingly meticulous. We were completely enthralled with its beauty and understated grandeur. They allow photo shoots for exorbitant fees and by appointment only. You might want to try Maymont, etc. instead.

This curved bridge that takes you across the James River from Tuckahoe to Bon Air (or vice versa)…read moreis an easy highway bridge to navigate. It's divided into two lanes both ways separated by a median barrier wall. Although it's not a long bridge, you can get a nice scenic view of the river and the surrounding foliage. Heading south from Parham Road, the road merges into Route 150 or Chippenham Parkway at the foot of the bridge. You'll also see some cool, unusual homes by the riverside and a view of Bosher's Dam. One a clear, sunny day, you may also catch a glimpse of kayakers, paddle boarders or boaters. Newer than the Huguenot Bridge nearby, this bridge is convenient for those living further in the West End heading to Southside. Because this is a flat, wide, quick passing bridge, gephyrophobia (fear or anxiety crossing bridges) should cause little stress. I'm generally a little nervous driving over bridges, but this one is a piece of cake! The speed limit is 45 mph and there's usually a police car on north side of the bridge so proceed with caution. Named for a Virginia state senator, this bridge is instrumental for shoppers traveling south to Stony Point Fashion Park, as the two exits to the mall are towards the foot of the bridge. Pedestrians, bicyclists and mopeds are prohibited. Willey, a retired pharmacist, also used to operate a drug store in Bellevue where you could get some of the best limeades in town!

Wish this house (and so many other bowling houses) would share with open bowlers the principle of lane courtesy so that everone could bowl safely. There are computer scoring machines at each lane; these could be used to educate new comers to the sport. I've recently seen an example of this being done very well at another facility and it seems crazy that every house isn't doing the same thing. We all care about fun and safety, right?

I go there because it's been 3 weeks still awaiting a refund for Wicked 2 tickets I canceled 2 days in advance, last month.

My server took our order and our entrees showed up before or drinks of water and ginger. I order the salmon with out potatoes but wanted a double portion of the spinach. It came out without the potatoes but not a double portion is spinach. The server said the chef said it was doubled. Ok if you say so. Let's get down to the actual meal, the Salmon was overcooked and the sauce was extremely salty. Like I could feel my blood pressure rising with each bit. The popcorn was cold and salty. It's a wrap for me. I am going back to a regular Regal theater cause cinebistro isn't it.

I experienced two tours with this company, a walking ghost tour and a trolley tour…read more Finding the departing location and tour guide for the ghost tour was challenging. Despite that, I arrived on time but other guests did not and arrived over 30 minutes late. My 1 hour ghost tour was 3 hours long. However, I really enjoyed the ghost tour guide and the content was Ok. The content of the two hour trolley tour was really informative and comprehensive but the trolley struggled to get up many of the hills in Richmond and was loud and the exhaust smelly. Having the older, southern gentleman tour guide refer to me as a yankee I did not appreciate- not because it isn't true but because I was raised in the deep south and more southern than him. Asking questions was not encouraged on the trolley tour.
