Take a drive to Winchester and visit the land of dinosaurs.
After dropping our only child at college we turned to the mountains and explored. Over the next week or so I’ll be sharing the sights that my wife (Page) and I captured. These are from the second day. The plan was to drive to Shenandoah National Park and be wowed by nature. On the way I noticed there was a spot called Dinosaur Land in Winchester (technically White Post) and after a quick visit to their website I knew we had to go. Do not confuse this with Dinosaur Kingdom II up near Natural Bridge, which is different and awesome in its own unique way. I’ll post a few pictures from the outside later in the series.
Dinosaur Land is not the most scientifically accurate exhibit on dinosaurs. It makes up for its inaccuracy with straight-up kitsch and by being amazingly cheap. Six bucks for adults will give you access to over 50 dinosaurs plus a few bonus creatures like King Kong. The savings in entry free were for naught. I left the gift shop with a tee shirt, koozie, and sticker. Overall I give this a 9 out of 10 for roadside stops.

Richmond Brunch Weekend at Various Area Restaurants September 10-11th
I’m not a brunch person. I like meals to stay firmly in their lanes. Don’t cross the meal streams. I also know I’m alone in this and supporting Richmond SPCA is a darn good reason to at least pretend to be a brunch person.
We are THRILLED to announce the return of our favorite event, #RVAbrunchweekend! Join us September 10-11 for our fifth annual RVA Brunch Weekend as we come together as a community to support our local restaurants and this year’s charity partner, the Richmond SPCA! To participate, all you have to do is enjoy brunch at one (or more) of our participating restaurants on September 10-11. Our gracious restaurant partners will then share a portion of proceeds with the Richmond SPCA. Restaurants are still feeling the impact from the pandemic, so please be nice, tip well, smile and leave an additional donation of any size for the Richmond SPCA! We are excited to have some great RVA restaurants on-board including: Home Team Grill Pinky’s Bari at Brambly Park Industrial Taphouse River City Roll Blue Atlas The Savory Grain Postbellum Fall Line Kitchen & Bar The Speakeasy Grill The Shaved Duck Restaurant Bocata Arepa Bar Maple Bourbon Carytown Baker’s Crust Short Pump Baker’s Crust Kreggers at Hand Tarrant’s West SB’s Love Shack Bar Solita We also have great Richmond food trucks on the list: 1115 Mobile Kitchen Woodhead’s Grill If you’re a Richmond-based restaurant interested in participating or a business who might want to sponsor the event, check out this link: https://www.astoldoverbrunch.com/get-involved
