    On our travels to Williamsburg; needed to break up the drive. Staff was friendly and helpful with our tasting. Chardonnay was the best for us.

    I love that Lavender Fields is a short drive from my home. It’s a must for purchasing my garden plants and Lavender spray to help me sleep. I always find something special at their gift shop. Lavender ice cream? Oh yeah, delicious!

    This park has something for everyone. Playground for kids, pond for fishing and feeding ducks, history visitor center, working farm and house to visit, animals to see, state of the art sports complex for ballplayers, large area you can use to fly kites, great place for walking, and Poke stops!

    I make a trip to Tom Leonard’s about once a week to stock up on vegetables and fruits. I know what prices my regular grocer charges, and TL is comparable if not better, and usually the produce looks fresher. You can find most other grocery items there, but I don’t think it’s diverse enough to grocery shop there exclusively, plus I find other items more expensive.

    The smell of diesel fumes and the cheer of the crowd let's you know where you are. The roar is deafening as these pint sized cars race around a track at break neck speeds inches from one another. Invariably there is a crash every minute or so but that only adds to the excitement. The fans are fantastic and the evening does its best to cater to them. A different type of fun that you should experience once in your life, especially if you have kids.

    We took some students to the Latin Ballet production Nuyorican. We go every year and every year we leave in awe of the professional and creative cultural production that taps into all aspects of Latino culture. This year's production of Nuyorica blew us away. This was the best production we have been to yet. Each year we are so impressed with the performances we keep coming back. This season's show was beyond energetic. It had our TEENS! BOYS and GIRLS alike, on the edges of their seats. They were dancing and singing along and totally enthralled. This show and its performers really incorporated current dances and themes that brought these teens pure delight. As always, the highly anticipated audience participation and dance on stage was the best! We did however miss seeing the elderly woman who is in her 90s that dances in the show. She was dancing in the night production. I wish she would have been at the morning show. It is such a nice generational connection which is so important to the latino culture. We also loved the ranges of ages of the other dancers, many very young! We love the Latin Ballet!

    My first visit to this place. Huge campus with a large temple. Venkatachalapathi is the main dirty. Went in a weekday and hence the canteen is closed. Very well maintained and peaceful.

    An interesting combination of "things" to do at this park. In addition to the "usual" picnic shelter, a play area, and a short walking/hiking trail, there is a nice spray park for the kids (not operative when we were there). And, to top it all off, there is a very large 9-hole disc golf course.

    I had a lovely visit here. There was a nice selection of beers available on tap. The service was friendly and the place a fun vibe. Tables were decorated with play bills and tickets and the walls were adorned with fun art and collectibles. There were also a couple arcade games.

    Maybe, first and foremost are the 12 pickleball courts, something you don't see everywhere. But, there are the "usual" things to do: a softball/baseball field; a football field, which can double as a soccer field; a huge playground; and some trails around and through the park.

    In 2011, Springfield School, which dates from the 1920s, was moved to Pouncy Tract Park. This two-room school was attended by African-American students. An interesting bit of local history in the park.
