Forget Christmas in July, we’ve got a polar vortex in July!
Okay, so it’s not really a polar vortex and we don’t live in Michigan, but in comparison to Richmond’s usual fry-an-egg-on-the-pavement heat, a weekend in the low 80’s is pretty perfect for getting outside.
In addition to our calendar, we’ve got a great big list of things to do both outdoors and indoors right here.
If you get hungry 7-Eleven is giving away free snacks all week long.
And of course, you can save yourself some dough when you use the Savvy Saver App at Science Museum of Virginia, Romp n’ Roll, All Fired up and more.
Have a great week!
