I'm a firm believer that you should be a tourist in your own backyard!  This page will provide links of my reviews and ramblings about places, activities, events, and locations in Virginia with the primary focus on the I-64 corridor between Richmond and Charlottesville, my stomping grounds!  Through my experiences, I hope you can gain a glimpse into the reason why Virginia Is For Lovers - of history, culture, good food, and good times.  Be sure to check back regularly for updated links!
