Another one of our favorite places to visit here in Richmond is a place called Maymont. It used to be owned by a very wealthy family who developed it. It has a mansion and carriage house with neat old buggys and an ancient "car." It has a beautiful landscape, nature center, and petting zoo.

Mariah was trying to become part of the sculpture.

Mariah was too scared to go inside the cave in the tree, but it's a pretty cool tree!

We went wading in the stream, it was a very hot August day in Virginia.

Mariah loved the fish in the nature center.


Cute little bridge.
Beautiful old weeping willow.
Out of all the animals, Mariah loved petting the pigs the most!
