What are your favorite summer activities? 🌿🛶👇
Probably staying home in air conditioning 😅😂
@@-Archer 😜
Enjoying see The Ball Park Game! ⚾️
@@JeremiahRios27 that is seriously so fun! Agreed!
This is so fun to watch! As a native Richmonder I love seeing all the different things to do!
@@marygood733 thank you so much Mary! It’s been so fun discovering all the things. I love it here! 😍💚
I've lived in Richmond my entire life and never appreciated it ! Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to be in this city.
Thank you for your kind words! 💚 Stay cool out there & I hope you have an amazing summer!!
I may be moving from NYC to Richmond for work and your videos have been my only source of education on whether or not I’d like living there
@@karefool2494 thank you so much!! 💚 what do you think so far, will going like living here?
just started watching your vlogs, and I love it already. And, I’m a bit excited cause i’m (we’re) moving there to Richmond maybe next year. So, thankyou for these vlogs 🥹🤍 it lets me look into the city more and how it probably feels living there. ☺️
@@siiahsdiary yay!! So glad you found me too! Thank you for your kind words! 💚💚
Wow! Once again, another great video. Thanks for the ideas. I will have to try them. You rock, as always. Keep up the great work! Sending you well wishes from Madrid, Spain.
@@TeacherTrainerMadrid thank you so much!! Literally so many fun things to do! And the flying squirrels baseball game too of course!
You should try kayaking the James. Take a 1/2 or full day class. Which upgrades you to doing more advanced stuff. Go with a group! The Rivah can be dangerous. Lot of groups that do it a lot if you get into it.
Fun fact about Richmond. It's the only city in the US with class IV rapids running through it.
@@mcblaze1968 can’t wait! Def excited to try that this summer 😍
Just found your vlog. Catching up. We’re from NOVA first came down two months after you two visited in 2021, but we made the jump immediately. We moved here in June 2021. We rented on Blvd for two years and now own by Carytown. Keep up the vlogs. Maybe see ya round the city.
@@mikemclaurin2889 love that! Carytown is awesome!! For sure 😊😊
We have no kayak on the James River. Sound like a lot of fun. What do think of the humidity? Can you rent a kayak ? We did manage to get to a Flying Squirrels game.
All the best. 👍👍 Jim and Harriet Richmond, Va.
@@costasworldofmusicmemories5792 yes kayak rental is closer to Browns Island & also at Riverside Outfitters ☺️
Love these videos and your happy shiny vibes!!!))) Check out the Tuesday night Criteriums (bicycle racing) at Bryan Park. They start at 6pm but they have kids races to that start before that. They also have womens races. Last one of the year is next Tuesday though. I am planning to move to Richmond and live in Williamsburg.
@@johntr76 this sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip! And also, thank you for your kind words!💚💚
Rented in richmond for about 9 years and loved it so much just bought our first house in manchester area. 2 more markets you may or may not know about, makers market(Basic City brewing) and the moon market (Stone brewing) both focus on local crafts people. Lived in church hill for a while and just down road from proper pie is the hill cafe menu which is my favorite not super expensive restaurant in the area. Love the videos!
@@theMonstar89 thank you for these tips!! And your kind words. ☺️ Love a good market!!
Thank you for the Shout Out!!! Love the video!!!
@@shoplyricsboutique thank you! And we love your clothes! 😊💚
@@LaurenZRay we appreciate you alot
Huguenot: just say Hu like few; Gue like duh; Not like knot. That’s the way we say it around here in Richmond.
So amazing 👏 😍 vlog 🎯 🏌♀️
@@epoxyinstallationbayarea thank you so much!! 💚💚
We moved here in the Summer, so it feels right! Love all the seasons. Also, sooo many markets! ☀
Except this summer we don't have to do moving recon, so even better! haha 😍 We will be going in that double kayak asap!
Glad you get to see all the views
@@ShainaCilimberg views are the best 😍
Could you recommend me some neighborhoods to look into as a potential mover next summer/fall? I am a 23 year old currently living in nyc and finishing up grad school. I’ve had a few friends move down to VA over the last two years and they love it! Some are living in Lynchburg and others at VA Beach. However I’ve been really interested in Richmond and am seriously contemplating it to be a potential option to me. I definitely need to visit the city more before making that decision but when I go to visit, I definitely want to check out realistic housing options for me as well as scoping out the neighborhoods. What neighborhoods should I look into as a young professional female who will not know anyone 😅(I know I probably sound so naive but this is a genuine question as I do not know much about Richmond yet!) I would appreciate any feedback! Thank you!!!!
@@keelyn5260 so exciting!! I recommend the Fan and areas around VCU campus, Jackson Ward, Shockoe, Scott’s Addition or Museum District to live. Also be sure to join Vegan Club RVA (open to everyone including non-vegans) but it’s a social club I started for people to meet others & become friends. www.laurenzray.com/vegan-club-rva ☺️
@@LaurenZRay thank you so much! I will definitely look into it! It sounds great!
Boka takos!
Humid.

I hate living in Richmond, wish to God I could move. Somewhere with mountains. Arid weather. Big skies. Dont like it here
Stumbled across your channel last week and I’m really enjoying your content! It’s been about 20 years or so since I lived in Richmond (went to school out there) thinking about moving back thanx to your vids 😅
