2186 will be there. Not hurdling but knocking them down and running laps like a greyhound.

We've been trying to figure out what to do with our spare time other than outlet mall shopping/eating places.
What would you do for fun, especially in Richmond? I'm asking for our student team members and adults.

Re: VCU Regional??

The CAA men's basketball championship tournament is going on at the Richmond Coliseum March 7-10. I know I will be there.
If that isn't your thing, there is a bowling alley ~10 min west on Broad street from the Siegel Center also. Movie theatre another 5 min after that.

Don't forget VCU's school of engineering usually has an open house on Thursday night and then you have the team social on Friday at the Virginia
Science Museum.

thanks, we were planning to attend both. I like the bowling and movie idea also. Is it worth driving an hour or so south or west? Any sights to see?

A lot of this depends on how much time you have and when. I am assuming that you will have a bus to get around in.
On nice weather days, Belle Isle is a terrific place for outside running around and general relaxing. Access is via bridge hung under Belvedere Street is and right by the VCU campus. Many students go there on nice spring days, or swimming in warmer summer days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Isle_(Virginia)
Maymont Park is also fun, there is a small zoo there in addition to the gardens. http://www.maymont.org/

The CAA basketball tournament is Friday-Monday, with games downtown at the Richmond Coliseum. http://www.caasports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=43048&SPID=3455&DB_OEM_ID=8 500&ATCLID=1402043
About an hour and a half west is Charlottesville, with Monticello. Would make a nice half day trip. http://www.monticello.org/
About an hour east is Williamsburg and a bit past that is Jamestown. http://www.history.org/ http://www.historyisfun.org/
Headed north, you have DC about two hours away on the way to Annapolis with all that DC has to offer.

That is what comes to mind right now. If you had any other suggestions or details I could likely find something else fun.

Cheers
Wetzel

64° + "cold weather clothes" = does not compute.
We were experiencing windchills of -5° where I live the other day, and gusts of many mph on my hill.

That was directed to our Hawaiian friends. Some of them may not have experienced a freezing night in their lives and may have nothing heavier than a sweatshirt in their closet. Remember "cold" is a relative term :-)
