I got my bags back on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 526. Today the Amateur Traveler we talk about a Civil War

Museum and Brew Pubs, plantations and the White House of the Confederacy as we go to Richmond, Virginia.

I know that I should be heading home, but maybe not, maybe not

today.

Welcome to the Amateur Traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. If you're

interested in any of the amateur traveler trips and you're listening to this

in 2016 especially you'll want to stay tuned for an announcement at the end of this

episode or go straight to amateur traveler.com slash trips to learn more. But now let's

talk about Virginia. I'd like to welcome to the show Becky Pacora from the girl and globe.com who has come to talk to us about Richmond, Virginia.

Becky, welcome to the show.

Hi, it's great to be here.

So first of all, Richmond, Virginia,

why should someone go to Richmond, Virginia?

Richmond used to be a great destination only because it was perfect for history

buffs.

There's a significant amount of history here from colonial times and especially the Civil War.

But I've been in Virginia about six years now,

and after the past few years, I've really seen Richmond grow up.

Now it's kind of blossomed into a more well-rounded trip,

so not just history buffs will love it. Everybody has something that they'll find that they'll enjoy.
