Farmers Mkt, Broad Appetit, and Columbus Ships (June 2-3, 2012

 Took this photo at Forest Hill Farmers Market, on June 2, 2012. I like this event,and have a great time there when ever I go. Its a neat thing, and draws quite a crowd every Saturday. If you like food, they have it. If you like music, they have that too. If you like just some completely different things that will catch your eye, open your wallet, and bring a big huge smile to your face this will do it. Just an amazing thing to experience. 

Likewise, on Sunday June 3, went to Broad Appetit which was held in downtown Richmond. Like the above, enjoyed that with a few thousand friends in Richmond. Again there were bands, and food, this time from some 60 restaurants, as well as bands, along with beer and wine (both from Virginia and very good if I do say so myself.
Did not just greatly enjoy the event itself, but also was fun to wander a bit around downtown Richmond, which is a place which has a great deal of history, and some interesting buildings to wander past, and to check out. This is a great and fun town to walk.

Liked this a great deal at Rocket's Landing in Richmond. So it goes like this..."in 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue", and these are replica ships of two of the fleet Columbus sailed to the new world..the Nina and the Pinta. Said to be exact copies and built as the Spanish built them this was very cool to see on the James River.
We had a good time there, went to Conch Republic and had a good dinner, and enjoyed happy hour as well (which they have after four PM on Sunday). Food is pretty good and like being out near the river with a great view of the city. Nice thing was it was not hot or humid on this day. I have to say, this was a very, very fine weekend in the RVA.
