Dream Trip 2008: May

Great Travel Moment

It was a beautiful early Summer in Virginia. The sky was blue after two days of rain. However, it was not muggy as it usually is in Summer. A light breeze circulated the fresh air. Although the park was visited by many Richmond residents it did not feel crowded. After our usual walk through the petting zoo, zoo and the Japanese garden we climbed the stairs to the garden of the Maymont estate. There we sat on soft grass and enjoyed the view of the rolling hills. This was the first time I ever sat on the grass to enjoy the view of the grounds of this beautiful estate - Maymont. Moreover, I was with friends who enjoyed the park as much as I did. I truely LIVED that day.
