We ate a delicious lunch at Cafe Ole in the Carytown area of Richmond and then headed over to Belle Isle Park. Suspended beneath HWY 301, over the James River, is an amazing pedestrian foot bridge that leads to Belle Isle. In this area the James River is dotted with large boulders and the river is relatively shallow and calm. Richmonders bring beach towels, coolers and snacks and lounge on the rocks between dips in the river.
Stacie and Adam are very modest celebrities. If you're a fan of the Rachael Ray Show, you might have seen them on TV in 2008. Stacie sent in a nomination for a room makeover in their home. Adam is an extreme fan of the band KISS and she decided that his large collection of KISS memorabilia needed to be tamed and displayed in a more organized way. http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/show/segments/view/kiss-room-makeover/. The room is absolutely amazing. Adam loves it, Stacie loves it, everyone's happy.
One of my coworkers had mentioned to me that every time she goes home to Richmond she eats at Comfort. When I told Adam and Stacie this they both looked at me with glazed over expressions and I thought they were going to start drooling. Evidently Comfort is THE spot to go to in Richmond for comfort food. Our meal was absolutely delectable. I had catfish, fried okra, and mac 'n cheese. While Josh tried the pork tenderloin, cheese grits and pickled beets. It was one of those meals where everyone sits and eats in silence for brief periods of time because each person is too busy enjoying their meal to participate in conversation. The restaurant has a beverage on their drink menu called "Virginia Lightening" but we heard that it does not have the signature burn of real Virginia white-lightening. Yet again, Richmond proves to be a good time and we look forward to many more trips!
