Richmond is a few hours away from me so when the kids and I travel there we take advantage of the sights unique to the area. One of my favorite places to visit although this only makes my second visit is Maymont.
Maymont is a large estate that includes gardens, a mansion and winding trails showcasing a variety of animals. You cross bridges, walk past streams and waterfalls and even climb stairs as you stroll the 100 acres.
There are several garden arrangements. The Japanese garden was our favorite.
I spy with my little eye a waterfall! It was so unexpected that it was really neat to see.
On the trail we saw the regal Bald Eagle!
American Bison were visible from the trail!
A barn showcases the transportation of the past.
The kids got a kick out of the other kids!
Maymont is definitely a must see in Richmond, VA. In addition to all of this, they also offer activities and several special events for an additional fee throughout the year.
What an amazing place to visit! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

ReplyDeleteMaymont is that kind of place my family and I would visit! A perfect and chill family walk! A great bonding time in the nature. And that waterfalls is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, you guys would enjoy yourself!
DeleteIt looks lovely and I can't believe you saw a real bald eagle!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun place to visit with the kiddos. Can't wait to our next visit to Richmond Virginia.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to this part of the country to visit - I've only driven through. Which is a shame. This is the part that I like the best.
ReplyDeleteVirginia is on my to visit list! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pictures of transportations from the past. Things were simpler. No traffic, gas was cheaper and somehow more classy!
ReplyDeleteYes, isn't it classy. I think the same thing when I see them. No gas would be a beautiful thing.
DeleteWhat a cool little spot, we don't have architecture like that over here
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. My husband and I love visiting Richmond but haven't taken all the kids yet. This looks like a cool place to explore.
ReplyDeleteI can never stay long enough. There's a lot more I would like to check out.
DeleteThis looks like a beautiful place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Virginia once as a child and remember it being so beautiful! I need to visit Richmond soon.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful place to visit. If I ever go to Richmond, I'll have to keep this in mind
