Always a fun trip! Although they have enough stock to allow you to "dig," it's a curated experience. The owner is a sweetie and will even give recommendations once she knows your taste. Do yourself a favor and get over there!

RVA Antiques | Antique Shop | Henrico, VA
This place is a literal warehouse for unique home decor. When friends visit from other states, I take them here! You didn't know you needed to elevate your home until you step into those doors. It's a hair bit pricey, but well worth it!

La Grotta is THE best Italian in the city. I will argue this FACT. It's northern Italian food. It's fine dining that will fill your belly. The courses with wine are always my go to. If I have to choose 1 item, it's the chef's choice. Lol

Who doesn't love the zoo? There are so many animals to see: lions, giraffes, llamas, flamingos, the list goes on. There's even a sky lift and zip line. My favorite parts are feeding the giraffes and the birds. Local artists tend to go with their sket...
