☀️ Fridays After Five in Charlottesville
🛟 Tubing down the Rivanna or James River
🥾 A hiking trip in Shenandoah National Park
🏕️ Camping under the stars in the mountains
🚤 A lake day at Lake Anna
🌿 Visiting the brand-new Conservatory at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
🎵 Seeing a concert at Richmond's new Allianz Amphitheater
🏎️ Catching a race at Richmond Raceway
🎭 Seeing a show at the Altria Theater
🤠 Going to the Orange County Rodeo
🎬 Watching a movie at the Goochland Drive-In
🍑 Picking fresh peaches at a local orchard
🌅 Watching sunset at Carter Mountain or Belle Isle
🍷 Visiting a winery I've never been to before
🎡 Spending a night at a county fair

And that's only part of my list.
