Road Trip/Move Part 9: Richmond, VA

To kick off our two nights in Virginia we met up with our Waco/Williamsburg friends Scott & Bess for dinner at California Pizza Kitchen.  (Scott is one of the two Sing guys that stayed with us semi-long term in Waco).  Afterward we settled in with another aunt & uncle of Matt's (Tricia & Roy) and got some good visiting, bunny watching, coupon clipping, eating and downtown touring time in.  Downtown Richmond has earned a spot near the top of my favorites list.  Amazing homes, amazing memorials, amazing history.  

On our way out of VA we saw a sign for George Washington's birthplace... so we took a detour!  We could only spare a minor side trip, so we just went in the visitors center.  The park appeared to be a neat historical replica of the home/farm that was once there.  We did, however, see the memorial that was built where his birth home once stood and got a good view of the Potomac.
