Looking for weekend destination within 2hrs, heading south, of Richmond
Cat #2 is scheduled for the needle on Wednesday. After the run we've had I think it'd be good for the wife and I to get out of this death house for a few days and the long weekend seems like the perfect time. Cute small-town type place would do us just fine. She likes those thrift and antique type stores, so towns with those would be good.
Thanks all.

getting away, why not get one of those cheap flights to FLA...It should be back to warm there by next weekend!

There was a memorable trip there maybe a decade ago or so.

Between Irvington and Kilmarnock. This area looks like just the thing to get our minds off this nonsense.

Hope and Glory Inn is nice. Nice winery and oysters.
Kilmarnock had a very nice little town with shops and restaurants.
Historic Christ Church has really cool tours and fascinating history.

right in Kilmarnock. Hit that huge antique spot Saturday, bought way more than I would've expected. Did a run up to Tappahannock to eat at 1710 Tavern and go to Acme Antiques (what a wonderful place). Humorously, as we're pulling into Kilmarnock I see a sign for a concert: "Foot stompin music!" I read the band's name, Scythian, and go "Holy smokes!" That's my buddy's band and I haven't seen him in a couple years. So I'm going back up in a couple weeks to surprise him.
Staying in White Stone that evening and checking out The Quays. Been a while since I've been to an Irish pub. Oddly, not a lot of them here in Quinton.

You could always zip down to Williamsburg. Only an hour (or so) from Richmond. If you want to go south into NC, there's always small towns like Elizabeth City.

over the 2 hr mark though.

like to try somewhere new. Haven't spent much time south of Richmond, other than driving through to visit '08 in NC. Could go east too, but somewhere other than Williamsburg/the Triangle. We live 30 minutes from there and go there regularly.
