Visiting Maymont Park http://www.maymont.org/ this morning was so much fun. Analiese got to feed the goats and see a red fox, a bear, large birds of prey (vultures, owls, bald eagles, etc.) and walk through a Japanese garden. The whole park is over 100 acres and at one time belonged to a family. They had no children so left it to the city of Richmond. Eventually a foundation took over. It is an absolutely beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. We only spent two hours and didn’t even see a quarter of it. 
It will definitely be a place to go back to. IF you ever get to Richmond, be sure and visit. It is ranked #2 of places to visit in Richmond.
