Richmond: Bakeries and Gardens

I took the girls out of school on a Friday and the kids and I drove up to Richmond first thing in the morning to meet my dear friends Jessica and Kirsten and their kids (who drove down from Alexandria). We have quite the crew when we're all together. They love gardens and adventures as much as I do so the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond was the perfect spot to meet. They have an amazing children's garden and so many beautiful flowers were in bloom. It was so fun to see all the kids running around together for HOURS and having a great time. And I loved visiting with my friends when I wasn't chasing Simon.

Jessica had recommended this great bakery in Richmond so we stopped to try their amazing wood-fired croissants!
