150+ AUTHENTIC SHOPS & RESTAURANTS lining Cary Street. Great way to spend a day and get a feel for this town & the people. Adults and children will LOVE World of Mirth - a quirky toy store with a fun mix of vintage and unique toys. Stop by Christopher's flowers (street cart) - in front of Can Can for a bunch of fresh flowers to remember your day. Parking can be tricky - so Uber it - have them drop you off at the beginning (Cary & Thompson) - walk up and down both sides of the street to pick your favs.

Google Richmond Breweries and plan an afternoon of RVA brewery hopping. You'll get to tour the town, meet the peeps in a casual (and typically family friendly) setting and enjoy whatever's on tap for the season. There's usually good local music as well. Some of the breweries close by 10 - so map out your path and enjoy!
