When I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. I’ve used the same brand of pen for nearly 20 years (Pilot, in case you’re wondering), and I’ve owned a Ford for at least 18 years. Clothing, on the other hand, is something I’m a little more fickle about. If it fits and […]

The park has added its flock of 17 Scottish black-face sheep to the gardening staff. This crew doesn’t care about perks, paychecks or pension plans. Usually seen at […]
Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream 2013: The Story of Ripper Row
09/09/2013 by
I love a good storyline. Whether it’s a movie, a themed restaurant or the completely immersive feel of a well set theme park, the story behind the setting is almost as good as the activity, situation or event itself. Busch Gardens Williamsburg does a great job with the settings of their European villages and depictions […]

Newly appointed Grand Ole Opry member and front man of Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker performed to a sold out crowd at Richmond’s Innsbrook After Hours concert series.

Dunkin’ Donuts opens at two Great Wolf Lodge locations
07/29/2013 by
For most of us, getting away from it all doesn’t necessarily mean that we want to leave it “all” behind. We still need that occasional cup of coffee or a tasty treat to keep us going. Whether we’re at the beach, waiting in an airport or off on a waterpark adventure, we need that jolt […]

As much as I love the sunshine of summertime, I would have to say that Halloween is one of my most favorite holidays. Haunted houses,devious decorations, perfectly themed settings and being scared senseless are all at the top of my list for an entertaining evening. When else is it perfectly acceptable to scream your head […]
