Skip the mall for some of the best deals in boutique shopping. There's a never-ending supply of unique items in Virginia's main street shops.
Keep a close eye out for that next Antiques Roadshow winner! For the diligent bargain-hunter, It's out there waiting at a Virginia curio shop - hidden in plain sight, of course.
Fresh produce from farm to table - local Farmer's Markets are always a great bet for dinner or a healthy snack. And don't forget the locally grown wine at one of hundreds of Virginia vineyards.
Shopping is always better in groups, so grab some girlfriends and find a discounted shopping and spa deal. Make some memories and leave the kids with Dad for the day.
Don't be fooled by the funnel cakes and elephant ears, festivals and fairs offer plenty home-cooked treats that you won't find in any grocery store.
