I haven't been able to update due to a surgery I recently had, and because of that our long awaited hiking trip that was suppose to happen this past weekend was postponed! I had my surgery a little over a week ago and tried so hard to convince John that I was okay days leading to the trip, but he wasn't convinced and lectured me about not taking any chances on my health and well-being. Okay, okay, he's right and Im just the stubborn one. So our Blue Ridge Parkway/Peaks at Otter trip is postponed next month, but at-least we wont have to stay in a lodge cuz campgrounds will be open by then! Yes! So to ease the disappointment, John said we'd go and explore Belle Isle in Richmond instead! Off to Richmond we went! After my surgery, car rides have not been the most comfortable. It was only an hour and 45 minute drive but I was starting to get carsick not even half way there! I hope whatever it is goes away when Im 100% recovered, cuz Im not liking it one bit!
It was an obligatory patch picture, I had to! When I got these patches in the mail several weeks ago, I knew I wanted a picture like this, and it came out perfect! John posted it on his instagram shortly after and it has garnered almost 200 likes. Slow down tiger! Anyways, we arrived in Richmond around 1ish and decided to grab lunch before exploring. We originally wanted to eat at The Heritage but there was some private event, so off to Black Sheep we went. It was delicious! Belle Isle was only a brief 5 minute drive from where we had lunch.
