Richmond Home and Garden Show

     April is Home and Garden Month in Virginia.  All across the state are wonderful home and garden tours in most of the larger cities. 
     Different cities, different days and different weeks.  You could spend the whole month travelling all over Virgina seeing lovely homes and beautiful gardens. 
     Every year Mike and I visit Richmond for their tour.  This year our friends Linda and Larry Bell went with us.  Here are a few pictures of our travels...... unfortunately they won't allow pictures to be taken inside the homes only the gardens.



Isn't this a cute idea?!!

A restful spot.


Took a side trip to the Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond.  So elegant.


Inside the hotel.

Not sure what the concrete alligator had to do with the hotel. 
 Must be a story there somewhere.


Another alligator.


We even took a driving tour of the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. 
 It overlooks the James River.
A wonderful little vacation.  Beautiful homes, great friends.
Next year don't forget the Virginia Home and Garden Tours in April.  Valerie
