Richmond / Belle Isle

After VA Beach we journeyed down to Richmond to stay with some new friends, Matt & Chelsea.  If everyone on our trip is as welcoming and kind as our first two stops we are in for the trip of our lives!

Everyone suggested we explore Belle Isle (which is in the James River) and that was the first thing we did upon arrival.  It was great fun -  good to get a little hiking after sitting in the car (only for 2 hours, but sill).  we didn't see the foot bridge at first and thought you had to climb the rocks across the small rapids to get to the Isle - we were wrong - but only realized half way across the rocks.  Nash didn't really dig jumping rock to rock - but he was great at it, and it was funny to watch him splay his toes and jump.



Belle Isle was awesome.




After our day hike we met up with Matt, saw some of the city and then Chelsea made us hurricanes (in honor of Fat Tuesday) and we cooked a hearty meal of chicken eggplant parm and pasta with a yummy salad.  Then we went out and saw some awesome live music (and had a few more hurricanes...)

we're off to explore more of the city today!
